The interference study helped them create a sensor that detected dipyridamole spiked into a natural, human sweat sample.

A control system helps robots quickly adjust to subtle changes in the way their operators move, which could improve safety in manufacturing settings.

While PIR sensors can be used with Arduino and other microcontroller boards, those best-suited for hobby use are smart enough to perform simple tasks without any programming.

A new sensor that mimics human touch is placed on a man's wrist to test the device's sensitivity. It is no longer science fiction, we really do have the technology to rebuild veterans who have ...

“We hope this method will allow us to make low-cost soft sensors that are reliable and portable, that can be used to monitor people’s health in their own homes,” Michael Kasimatis, from the ...

As we move into a world where human-machine interactions are becoming more prominent, pressure sensors that are able to analyze and simulate human touch are likely to grow in demand.

An international research team has developed 'electronic skin' sensors capable of mimicking the dynamic process of human motion. This work could help severely injured people, such as soldiers ...

How a world filled with sensors will change the way we see, hear, think and live ...

Robots do not look human just yet, but soon they may get the "human touch." Researchers say they have developed a flexible sensor able to detect temperature, pressure and humidity simultaneously ...

Recently SmartPlanet posted on the development of research that could lead to so-called robot-human love. Now comes another step toward more lovable (or at least soft) robots. A new type of sensor ...
