Abstract: Measuring the deformation of an elastic element to obtain the exerted force is a typical design paradigm for force sensors. Even though the laser interferometric displacement measurement ...

Researchers report that they have invented new nanoscale sensors of force. They are luminescent nanocrystals that can change intensity and/or color when you push or pull on them. These 'all-optical' ...

An Arduino Shield to measure an FSR using either a buffered voltage divider or current to voltage op-amp solution. We needed is an instrument that can plot the voltage/thrust curve for any motor and ...

We’ve all seen it on the factory floor. A small collaborative robot is tasked with assembling a delicate electronics module. The payload is barely a couple of kilograms. The parts are light, fragile, ...

To extend its reach in the force and strain measurement technology space, sensor supplier Baumer has acquired the Swiss company X-Sensors. For 25 years, X-Sensors has been developing and producing ...

This is a library for the Arduino IDE that helps interface with ST's VL53L4CD time-of-flight distance sensor. The library makes it simple to configure the sensor and read range data from it via I²C.

The development of increasingly sophisticated sensors can facilitate the advancement of various technologies, including robots, security systems, virtual reality (VR) equipment and sophisticated ...
