Renesas Electronics has expanded its popular ZMOD4510 Outdoor Air Quality (OAQ) gas sensor platform with an IP67-qualifed waterproof package and a new AI-based algorithm that enables ultra-low power selective ozone measurements.

Digitization has taken off in 2020 and one of the leading beneficiaries of that is the Internet of Things. The value proposition for getting -- and using -- data from sensors has grown exponentially. LoRaWAN, backed by the LoRa Alliance, is…

Printed/flexible sensors offer multiple benefits relative to their more established rigid counterparts, including lower weight, flexibility/conformality, and potentially lower manufacturing costs since printing facilitates high-throughput…

The 2020 Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Robotics & Automation Award went to Photoneo and its high-resolution MotionCam-3D scanner that captures quick-moving objects and delivers the sharpest eyes for industrial robots. The novel…

Calibrating sensor data in autonomous systems must be simple and quick, but above all, it must be accurate. Deepen AI just unveiled a software tool, Deepen Calibrate, to enable the calibration of multi-sensor data, managing process…

We lose about 13 million forest hectares per year, and of the 45% of our world’s original forest cover, most has been cleared within the last century. And when we lose forest cover, we also lose species biodiversity, as forest inhabitants…

Analysis of various bodily fluids reveals a lot about our overall health. Now it seems it’s sweat turn to shine, with Tufts University engineers’ creation of a flexible electronic sensing patch that can be sewn into clothing to analyze your…

Small magnetic fields from the electricity that lights our homes and powers our appliances are present all around us. Now, Penn State scientists have developed a new mechanism capable of harvesting this wasted magnetic field energy and…

University of Michigan researchers have tapped faint, latent signals from arm nerves and amplified them to enable real-time, intuitive, finger-level control of a robotic hand — the result being a major advance in mind-controlled prosthetics…

Columbia Engineers first to demonstrate a robotic finger with a highly precise sense of touch over a complex, multicurved surface. Researchers at Columbia Engineering announced today that they have introduced a new type of robotic finger…
