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, ...

Novanta discusses the development of the sensors, motors, and actuators necessary for the development of safe humanoids.

Given the feedback role of encoders in a motion control system, Donowitz said the first decision in your encoder selection process should be based on the type of motion in your application. “Linear ...

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 ...

The dual inductive position sensor can be used where medium- and high-end optical encoders are currently in place, and in applications such as robotics, industrial drives, factory-automation ...

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.

High-Speed Tactile Braille Reading via Biomimetic Sliding Interactions. IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, 2024; 1 DOI: 10.1109/LRA.2024.3356978 ...

The earlier stretchable sensor was created in 2016 and used light sent through an optical waveguide and a photodiode to detect changes in the beam's intensity to determine when the material deformed.

A team in Florida has created a walking robot with a twist: It needs no computer or sensors to move around. Rather, the Planar Elliptical Runner (PER) relies solely on its design to maintain its ...
