Tactile is an essential information for humans perceiving the world physically. And tactile sensing plays an important role in improving the performance of planning and control for a robotic ...

The new smart sensor uses embedded information to detect motion in a single video frame. A new bio-inspired sensor can recognise moving objects in a single frame from a video and successfully predict ...

A new bio-inspired sensor can recognise moving objects in a single frame from a video and successfully predict where they will move to. This smart sensor, described in a Nature Communications paper, ...

Visual assessment is critical to healthcare — whether that is a doctor peering down your throat as you say “ahhh” or an MRI of your brain. Since the X-ray was invented in 1895, medical imaging has ...

Recently, OmniVision Technologies released the OV14825, a 14.6-megapixel CMOS image sensor with a miniscule 1.4µm pixel architecture designed to be used in mobile handsets. Although the OV14825 is not ...

Swiss company senseFly is best known for its fixed-wing industrial drones, such as the eBee and swinglet CAM. Parrot, on the other hand, has made its name with its consumer quadcopters. So, now that ...
