Sensors can measure a large array of inputs. These include environmental monitoring, distance, force, speed, pressure, temperature, magnetic flux, vibration, humidity, rotation, touch, imaging, light, ...

A growing trend in encoder technology is the integration of additional sensors to add diagnostic functions and handle thermal and/or vibration issues. For example, an encoder mounted on a robot’s arm ...

Optical encoders are the most important: these sensors on the wheels of the robot tell it how far it has gone. They are called optical encoders because they use a light sensor to detect how many ...

An FPGA based Bluetooth controlled robot with encoder fault tolerant algorithm is presented. The smart phone is used to obtain user intentions, such as turning, speeding or braking and this data is ...

Magnetic-free dual-coil technology can create a high-resolution, precise, and reliable solution for motor position sensors used in robotics, industrial, and medical devices.

Spencer Chin TDK offers a wide range of sensors, and at the recent Sensors Converge Exhibition and Conference in Santa Clara, California decided to show them in action on a robot roaming its booth. In ...
