By Bill Schweber for Mouser Electronics Significant advances have been made in delivering high-performance, low-cost, easy-to-use sensors for a diverse range of physical phenomena, with progress often based on micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. There’s always been a widespread need for electronic sensors that can handle the diverse range of physical phenomena such as light, pressure, […]
Robots are getting in touch
by Rudy Ramos, Mouser Electronics Often overlooked is the value of a sense of touch in robotics development. Designers focus strongly on discrete features such as power, freedom of movement, and machine vision. However, tactile sensing complements all of these and helps make the most of them. Having a sense of touch also adds unique […]
