This library is to use an FSLP, a potentiometer that can provide both position (like any potmeter) AND the pressure (how hard the user presses). An FSLP is typical a strip with three or four contacts.

Abstract: Measuring the deformation of an elastic element to obtain the exerted force is a typical design paradigm for force sensors. Even though the laser interferometric displacement measurement ...

We’ve all seen it on the factory floor. A small collaborative robot is tasked with assembling a delicate electronics module. The payload is barely a couple of kilograms. The parts are light, fragile, ...

To extend its reach in the force and strain measurement technology space, sensor supplier Baumer has acquired the Swiss company X-Sensors. For 25 years, X-Sensors has been developing and producing ...

This is a library for the Arduino IDE that helps interface with ST's VL53L4CD time-of-flight distance sensor. The library makes it simple to configure the sensor and read range data from it via I²C.

Researchers report that they have invented new nanoscale sensors of force. They are luminescent nanocrystals that can change intensity and/or color when you push or pull on them. These 'all-optical' ...

Mechanical force is an essential feature for many physical and biological processes. Remote measurement of mechanical signals with high sensitivity and spatial resolution is needed for a wide range of ...
