For anyone who has lost a hand, a functional prosthetic hand is of enormous benefit when it comes to everyday activities. So researchers at Fraunhofer are working as part of an EU research project to ...

I like to think of engineers as doctors of the electronics world. Let me explain: Think about the last time an optometrist examined your “human sensors.” Did they prescribe glasses to compensate for ...

Standard industrial sensors detect specific physical properties like temperature, pressure, and presence/absence. They also respond to changes in such properties. As such, one may think the only ...

A robotic arm capable of mimicking hand gestures through data analysis of the mechanical activity of the muscles, using wearable piezoelectric sensors was developed. Piezoelectric discs were placed in ...

Emerging electromechanical actuation technologies for flight control systems will support more electric architecture. Credit: Collins Aerospace With a new age of electrically driven advanced air ...
