GelSight sensor lets robots "see" through their hands

Three years ago, we first heard about GelSight – an experimental new system for imaging microscopic objects. At the time, its suggested applications were in fields such as aerospace, forensics, dermatology and biometrics. Now, however, researchers at MIT and Northeastern University have found another use for it. They've incorporated it into an ultra-sensitive tactile sensor for robots.

It is very interesting technology , we can quickly capture the geometry of almost any material/thing regardless of its optical properties. Each of its products have their own specialization. it also allows for portable 3D super-high-resolution imaging and this is quite interesting
