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 ...

Recently I came across some non-contact liquid level sensors and gathered them out of curiosity. They have been available in the market for the past few years, but this time I was lucky enough to get ...

Why would one of the most sophisticated humanoid robots in the world want to get up from the floor in a way no human ever would? The answer lies deep in the interaction between sensor limitations, ...

Robots are developed for a wide variety of uses. These include assembly, welding, monitoring marine life, rescue and recovery and even vacuuming the floor. Because of this, there is a multitude of ...

According to MarketsandMarkets™, the Photoelectric Sensor Market is anticipated to be valued at USD 2.33 billion in 2025 and USD 4.02 ...

Force/torque (F/T) sensors are critical components of robot systems used for assembly, test, and other applications. Sensor systems help robots verify part insertion, apply a constant force during ...

Many robots track objects by “sight” as they work with them, but optical sensors can't take in an item's entire shape when it's in the dark or partially blocked from view. Now a new low-cost technique ...
