Using a 3D-printed material sensitive to electric fields, researchers have created a novel sensor that can accurately recognize and distinguish objects up to 10 centimeters – about four inches – away ...

Chinese researchers have developed a new robot sensor that can “feel” objects without physical contact, inspired by electric eels. Similar to the eel, the new sensor uses weak electric fields that are ...

Linear position sensors use contact or non-contact methods to measure the speed and/or position of an object. They use use a variety of technologies to detect and measure an object's position and ...

The TIDEP-0094 provides a foundation to evaluate object detection using the IWR1642 evaluation module (EVM). This design will allow the estimation of the position (in the azimuthal plane) and the ...

Magnetostrictive position sensors are non-contact linear position sensors that use the momentary interaction of two magnetic fields to produce a strain pulse that moves along a waveguide. One field is ...

MIT has developed an inexpensive sensor glove designed to enable artificial intelligence to figure out how humans identify objects by touch. Called the Scalable TActile Glove (STAG), it uses 550 tiny ...
