A joint research team has developed a stretchable and adhesive microneedle sensor that can be attached to the skin and stably measure high-quality electrophysiological signals for a long period of ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

Figure 1. Design and working concept of the Stretchable microNeedle Adhesive Patch (SNAP). (A) Schematic illustration showing the overall system configuration and application of SNAP. (B) Exploded ...

(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 ...

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 ...

A new flexible 'artificial skin' combines touch and chemical sensing, giving robots the ability to feel pressure while detecting molecules in their environment. Image ...

Advancements in environmental sensing have played an important role in smart factories, automobiles, medical wearables and other end equipment in which electrification is becoming more common. In ...
