Robots that work alongside humans need two different sensing abilities. They must detect people approaching from a distance to avoid collisions, and they must also sense extremely light touch when ...

This is the SparkFun Arduino library for the Texas Instruments TMAG5273 low-power linear 3D Hall-effect sensor with I 2 C interface. This SparkFun Arduino Library for the Texas Instruments TMAG5273 ...

Lexus has an interesting steering wheel button setup where there are two thumbpads on the spokes, unlabeled, that can be shifted between functions (like the shift key on your computer, not shifting ...

Researchers have developed a flexible optical touch sensor that can simultaneously detect the strength and location of pressure with high sensitivity and stability. The advance in tactile sensing ...

Using their Mosquito fabrication method, the researchers created a fan-out pattern of multiple thin light paths inside a thin sheet of PDMS. This created four optical channels that could be used for ...

The iPhone will undergo a massive transformation in the next three generations, according to the most recent reports. The iPhone 17 series, out next week, will introduce the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air ...

Capacitive touch sensors are entirely in the domain of DIY, requiring little more than a carefully-chosen conductive surface and a microcontroller. This led [John Phillips] to ask why not embed such ...

Robots have become remarkably advanced, capable of executing complex tasks with impressive accuracy, speed, and coordination. Yet, despite these leaps, they often struggle with something fundamental ...

If you want a good display and interface device for an embedded project, it’s hard to look past an old smartphone. After all, you’ve got an excellent quality screen and capacitive touch interface all ...

The Capacitive Touch Sensor (CTS) is a gesture sensitive functional textile touch-pad interface for physical devices. The CTS is produced as a single piece of fabric requiring only two electrodes to ...
