Flexible piezoelectric sensors are essential to monitor the motions of both humans and humanoid robots. However, existing designs are either costly or have limited sensitivity. In a recent study, ...

Robotic collision sensors are crash protection devices that detect a crash before or during a collision. A collision sensor sends a signal back to the robot’s brain (robot controller) in such ...

If you are going to build a foam dart range, at some point you want to add a sensor to register the hits at the target. Here is a simple idea for designing and building a standalone reactive target.

So often, we use control devices for electronics that involve our fingers directly grasping, touching, or moving another object or surface. It’s less common for us to use interfaces that detect the ...
