This article compares three types of photoelectric sensors—through-beam, retroreflective and diffused—used in industrial applications to detect object presence. Simply put, sensors are the eyes and ...

Q: I wanted to add window sensors to my home for extra peace of mind, and I thought it would be a simple task of searching for “window sensors for security” or “alarms for windows in house.” But it ...

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 ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Since it would be challenging to find all the different types of sensors in one place, we decided to put together a list of some of the best ...

Researchers in Drexel University’s College of Engineering have developed a solar-powered, wireless sensor system that can continually monitor bridge deformation and could be used to alert authorities ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed a low-cost, durable, highly-sensitive robotic ‘skin’ that can be added to robotic hands like a glove, enabling robots to detect information about their surroundings in a way ...

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 ...
