Miniaturized six-axis force/torque sensors have potential applications in robotic tactile sensing, minimally invasive surgery, and other narrow operating spaces, where currently available commercial ...

Flexible capacitive pressure sensors have gained widespread application in health monitoring, robotics, and structural diagnostics. However, conventional designs that rely on flat or micropatterned ...

This post is a quick look at the quite popular Rotary Angle Sensor module CJMCU-103. The CJMCU-103 rotary angle sensor/rotation sensor module is good for detecting an absolute rotation position. The ...

Capacitive displacement sensors span a wide range of resolution, from the touchscreen sensors which can only detect displacement as a binary state, all the way to the sensors in semiconductor fabs ...

Creating capacitive touch-sensitive buttons is easy these days; many microcontrollers have cap-sense hardware built-in. This will work for simple on/off control, but what if you want a linear, ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

Inductive sensors are non-contact proximity sensors that detect ferrous targets, ideally ones made of mild steel thicker than one millimeter. They consist of four major components: a ferrite core with ...
