There is a point where taking technology for granted hides some of the incredible capabilities of seemingly simple devices. Optical mice are a great example of this principle, using what are more or ...

Scientists from the Faculty of Physics at Vilnius University (VU) have developed a sensor capable of accurately detecting ...

Engineers at Queen Mary University of London have built a new color-changing tactile sensor, which allows robots to "see" and touch in real-time. The novel idea was invented by Giacomo Sasso, a ...

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I was frequently measuring my body temperature and blood oxygen levels. Based on information that it was possible to take an electrocardiogram (ECG) using the ECG app on ...

Engineers have studied how jumping spiders see and used this unusual biological model to create a working 3D imaging device called SpiderCam. Unlike traditional depth cameras, SpiderCam avoids the ...

Abstract: Force sensing is essential for many manipulation tasks and, more generally, for all robots physically interacting with their environment. While multi-axis force/torque sensors are readily ...

MagAlpha sensor detects the absolute angular position of a permanent magnet, typically a diametrically magnetized cylinder on the rotating shaft. Unlike most Arduino & Genuino boards, the MagAlpha ...

The skills catalog organizes agent skills into groups. Each group is a directory containing one or more skills (each with a SKILL.md and manifest.yaml). matlab-create-live-script Create plain-text ...

In a University of Kentucky laboratory, three small spacecraft stand-ins slid across low-friction air tracks, nudging and pulling one another without thrusters, propellant, or physical contact.

When you’re driving your car, you’re probably regularly looking at the speedometer to make sure you comply with the local speed limits. The method by which it works is simple enough: ...
