The scanCONTROL 3010-200 laser profile scanners from Micro-Epsilon enable robots to precisely detect and handle flexible cables in real-time.

Engineers at Tufts University have created and demonstrated flexible thread-based sensors that can measure movement of the neck, providing data on the direction, angle of rotation and degree of ...

The few sensors that detect and measure molecules in the body depend on the specific chemistry of the target analyte. For example, glucose sensors quantify levels of the sugar thanks to glucose ...

Engineers at Stanford University and at Georgia Institute of Technology have created a small, autonomous device with a stretchable/flexible sensor that can be adhered to the skin of cancer-bearing ...

Scientists have developed a sensor for measuring the strength of electric fields, which is much smaller, simpler and less prone to distortion than comparable devices. TU Wien has developed a sensor ...

Lactate, a compound present in sweat, is an important biomarker to quantify during exercise. However, available wearable sensors can cause skin irritation, which calls for the use of different ...

CU Boulder Today—A team of University of Colorado Boulder researchers is making reliable, inexpensive and easy-to-deploy sensors that monitor soil in real time as it, essentially, breathes in and out.
