There are two main technologies used to create resistive bridge sensors: strain gauge (or gage) and integrated circuits. Strain gages are widely used and have been available for many years. Typically, ...

Strain gauge sensors measure the strain (displacement) of an object under an applied force. When they are adhesively attached to the object under stress (an applied force), they deform with the object ...

When you look at switching solutions for electronic wearables, your options are limited. With a clever application of conductive fabric and thread, you can cobble together a simple switch, but the ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Force sensors weigh freight on manufacturing and transportation equipment. They also monitor loads on machines subject to stringent ...

Why auxetic materials offer some unique advantages in sensor fabrication. How additive manufacturing was used with autextic materials to create unique pressure and force sensors. The structure and ...

A recent study published in Engineering presents a significant advancement in robotic tactile sensing technology. Researchers have developed a novel soft tactile unit named the F 3 T sensor, which can ...

A team of Cornell students have designed and built their own electronic boxing trainer system. The product of their work is a game similar to Whack-A-Mole. There are five square pads organized roughly ...

Chemical sensors are devices that detect the presence of specific chemical compounds called analytes. The recognition element of the chemical sensor is sensitive to the presence of specific chemical ...
