week14 Haptics, Touch and Visions

This week we talk about the sense of touch and vision in machines and AI.

This topic is really interesting, Senses are a unique characteristic of living things， 

As technology explores the biology and the human brain more and more, researchers are discovering more of the body's senses. Examples include muscles, tendons and joints that include receptors that produce a sense of force (aka movement); receptors in the vestibule of the inner ear that provide us with a sense of balance; in the circulatory system, receptors that are sensitive to changes in carbon dioxide in the blood, blood pressure or heart rate; and receptors in the digestive tract that appear to regulate sensations such as hunger and thirst, with some brain cells possibly also involved as hunger receptors. This is particularly true for cells in the lower part of the brain (such as the hypothalamus), where some cells are sensitive to changes in blood chemistry (water and other digestive products) and even to changes in temperature within the brain.

The concept of the game clothes suit that was present in Ready player one has also been used in Teslasuit, Such tactile devices are beginning to break down the boundaries between the virtual and the real, which also shortens the distance between reality and the metaverse.

Scientific research has shown that the human brain processes a range of sensory information and then makes the appropriate commands to the various organs. If this law of operation is applied to robots in the future, it will be another milestone in the coexistence of man and machine.
