(Nanowerk News) Robotics researchers have already made great strides in developing sensors that can perceive changes in position, pressure, and temperature – all of which are important for ...

Researchers have created microscopic robots so small they’re barely visible, yet smart enough to sense, decide, and move completely on their own. Powered by light and equipped with tiny computers, the ...

A team of researchers at the University of Washington has unveiled MilliMobile, a tiny self-driving robot that relies solely on ambient light or radio waves for power. This robot is equipped with a ...

New TCS3530 is an ultra-sensitive color sensor that matches the response of the human eye to visible light The sensor’s highly accurate measurements of chromaticity and illuminance support superior ...

A new “machine vision sensor” can adapt to extreme lighting conditions much faster than the human eye, in about 40 seconds. This development from Fuzhou University in China can potentially improve ...

This sensor integrates two core technologies: a 3D acoustic perception technology that estimates the 3D positions of humans or objects even in noisy environments, and a sound wave-based dual ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. Light sensors detect the presence or absence of light, and the intensity of that light. These sensors then convert light energy into an electrical ...

In a step toward more autonomous soft robots and wearable technologies, researchers have created a device that uses color to simultaneously sense multiple mechanical and temperature stimuli. Robotics ...
