AI smart speakers and AI-enabled home automation devices are widely adopted and continue to see strong demand. However, achieving seamless integration with a ...

Abstract: We report the development of a novel soft body touch sensor capable of measuring contact force along its length. The sensor can be embedded in soft objects and on curved surfaces for smart ...

EBE sensors + motion is expanding its portfolio of capacitive input systems for industrial control concepts with the TCRC. The solution addresses the increasing demands of mechanical engineering for ...

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 ...

The Venus flytrap possesses sensory hairs that detect prey via touch stimuli. Bending of the sensory hair trigger Ca 2+ and electrical signals that propagate to the leaf blade. Saitama, Japan: Plants ...

Researchers have developed a thin optical touch sensor that can simultaneously detect the strength and location of pressure with high sensitivity and stability. The sensor is based on PDMS and is ...

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 ...

Inexpensive silicon rubber composites used to make robotic skin host an insulating layer which prevents direct electrical contact, making accurate and repeatable measurements virtually impossible. Low ...

SPOKE is a Raspberry Pi RP2040-based capacitive touch sensor board for interactive computer interfaces. It is designed to simplify the integration of touch-based control into various projects. SPOKE ...

[CNLohr] has been tinkering with some fun parts of late. He’d found out that ordinary LCD screens could be used as simple touch sensors, and he had to try it for himself. He ended up building a little ...
