Scientists have developed a color-changing tactile sensor that lets robots visualize touch in real time, paving the way for more precise manufacturing, prosthetics, and robotic surgery.

Door sensors detect door position (i.e., open or closed) based on the precise gap between the magnet and the reed switch.

Most prosthetic hands today still struggle with a fundamental problem: No two amputees are the same, yet most devices are designed as if they are. That mismatch makes natural, intuitive control ...

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 ...

I was looking for a sensor that could automatically detect falls to monitor the elderly. The first candidate that came to mind was a millimeter-wave radar sensor like the Aqara Presence Sensor FP2. It ...
