Fine tuning sensors on prosthetics includes incorporating the sense of touch into a device to be as close to the sensations felt by a natural limb as can be. The two began working together last ...

This system introduces an AC touch-controlled solid-state relay (SSR) capable of handling input voltages from 100V to 250V AC ...

Capacitive touch sensors are entirely in the domain of DIY, requiring little more than a carefully-chosen conductive surface and a microcontroller. This led [John Phillips] to ask why not embed such ...

A new flexible optical touch sensor can simultaneously detect the strength and location of pressure with high sensitivity and stability.

The Capacitive Touch Sensor (CTS) is a gesture sensitive functional textile touch-pad interface for physical devices. The CTS is produced as a single piece of fabric requiring only two electrodes to ...

Flexible, transparent pressure sensors invented by UC Davis biomedical engineers. A new kind of flexible, transparent pressure sensor, developed at the University of California, Davis, for use in ...

Robots could soon have a softer, more human touch thanks to optical pressure sensors embedded in an artificial "skin." Robots are hardly known for their gentle actions -- it's either on or off, so to ...

The iPhone will undergo a massive transformation in the next three generations, according to the most recent reports. The iPhone 17 series, out next week, will introduce the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air ...
