Abstract: A display including: a plurality of light sources that emit light beams; a plurality of optical cores having an elongated shape, each optical core having a respective first end, which is optically coupled to a corresponding light source, each optical core further being such that the light beam emitted from the corresponding light source propagates in a guided manner inside the optical core; and a screen, each optical core having a respective second end, which is optically coupled to the screen. The display further includes an optical separation element, which forms a plurality of cavities that house corresponding optical cores, each cavity and the corresponding optical core forming a corresponding waveguide. The optical separation element absorbs visible light and laterally surrounds at least the first end of each optical core.

Abstract: A sensory system for a robot comprises a plurality of tactile sensor arrangements (10), each of which includes a flexible planar substrate (12) adapted to form the coating of a robot body, carrying a plurality of pressure sensing devices (14), and an associated signal acquisition microcircuit (16), so arranged as to acquire electrical signals indicative of the contact with an external object (O) or environment from the plurality of sensing devices (14). The microcircuit (16) faces a serial communication bus (B) shared by a plurality of associated arrangements, so as to provide the signals acquired by the plurality of arrangements to an external microcontroller processing unit (40). The sensor arrangement comprises a single input connection port (18?) of the communication bus, and at least one output connection port (18?) of the communication bus, adapted to define a branched path of the bus (B) through said plurality of associated arrangements.
