Robots that track smells often fail when one of their sensors breaks. Now, researchers ...

As the boundaries between robots and collaborative robots (cobots) fade, the need for fast, agile and uncaged robot systems grows rapidly. Today’s cobots typically rely on power- and force-limiting ...

Robots are becoming increasingly capable in vision and movement, yet touch remains one of their major weaknesses. Now, ...

STMicroelectronics and Leopard Imaging have introduced an all-in-one multimodal vision module for humanoid and other advanced ...

A new category of sensing technology transforms mobile robot vision from 2D to 3D, improves safety performance and provides 50-80% cost savings compared to traditional, LiDAR-based systems and sensor ...

Laser Proximity Sensors use laser beams to detect the presence or absence of objects within a certain range. They are used in security systems, robotics, automation, and industrial processes, where ...

[mircemk] shows how to create a simple non-contact proximity sensor using little more than an Arduino Nano board, and a convenient software library intended to measure the value of capacitors. The ...

Inspired by the pupil's role in regulating light, researchers developed the sensor that can dynamically modulate the electric field to control sensing distance and resolution in real-time. Engineers ...
