Simply put, sensors are the eyes and ears of industrial automation. Regardless of the application, automation is simply not possible in today’s manufacturing process without sensors. There are many ...

Smart home automation is the ultimate life hack, in my humble opinion. Whether for efficiency, accessibility, nerding out, or just plain laziness, all you need are smart home devices and a little ...

Smart Sensors allow for the detection of a physical change along with analysis of the change. They perform a predefined function upon detection of an input and then processes the data before passing ...

Sensors and t ransmitters have been playing an increasingly important role in the field of instruments and meters, and in industrial automation. These two instruments are commonly used on equipment ...

With the cost of sensors ranging from $15 to $1,000, carmakers are beginning to question how many sensors are needed for vehicles to be fully autonomous at least part of the time. Those sensors are ...

Sensor fusion is becoming increasingly popular and more complex in automotive designs, integrating multiple types of sensors into a single chip or package and intelligently routing data to wherever it ...

Because optical encoders are functionally similar, “resolution” is often used as a main characteristic for magnetic encoders, a device providing the angle of a magnet attached to a mechanical shaft ...

Researchers have created a revolutionary robotic skin that brings machines closer to human-like touch. Made from a flexible, low-cost gel material, this skin transforms the entire surface of a robotic ...

Scientists have invented a paper-like, battery-free, AI-enabled sensor patch -- PETAL -- for convenient and effective monitoring of wound recovery. This novel technology provides early warning of ...
