The quest to mimic human touch in technology has led researchers to explore piezoelectric and triboelectric effects as pivotal phenomena. These effects underpin a new generation of tactile sensors ...

Cellulose soaked in a carefully designed polymer mixture acts as a sensor to measure pressure, temperature and humidity - at the same time! The measurements are completely independent of each other.

Force/torque (F/T) sensors are critical components of robot systems used for assembly, test, and other applications. Sensor systems help robots verify part insertion, apply a constant force during ...

Bosch has introduced a four-in-one mems sensor that measures air pressure, humidity and temperature, aa well as detecting volatile organic compounds, volatile sulfur compounds (indicating bacteria), ...
