Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems, or MEMS, come in many sizes and configurations; ranging from miniaturized electromechanical chips down to the most unique forms of nanotechnology that sense, measure, transmit, and control virtually every sensing modality. This allows the development of enhanced devices with perception and control capabilities for microsensors and microactuators only dreamed of a decade ago.…

Robots are a familiar presence in many manufacturing and industrial applications, performing tasks such as picking and sorting items and making welds on materials. While most robotic tasks are meticulously programmed by humans, nowadays robots increasingly incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms that enable them to make decisions and take on a more collaborative approach with…
