We’re used to interacting with electronic technology that is cold, rigid, and overwhelmingly artificial. The device you’re reading this on doesn’t resemble anything found in nature and, consciously or not, you see it as something separate from the natural world. But what if the dividing boundary was less distinct? How would that affect the way […]
There are a lot of very good reasons to monitor local environmental conditions, especially as they pertain to climate change research and various ecological protection initiatives. But doing so in urban locales is a challenge, as simply mounting a device can be difficult. That’s why a team from MIT’s Senseable City Lab built Octopus, which […]
Health tracking is a vital component to recovering after an injury or simply trying to improve one’s own fitness, and although accelerometer-based devices are decent at tracking general activity, they fail to accurately monitor specific areas of the body such as joint movement. This is why a team of researchers from the Singapore University of […]
When imagining motion sensors, devices such as accelerometers, infrared detectors, and LiDAR units probably come to mind. But due to the complexity and oftentimes high costs of these parts, researchers Joseph Liew and Keng Wei Ng from the National University of Singapore wanted to create a lower-cost and easier-to-assemble alternative. Their solution, called ESsense, uses the […]
Nicla Vision is a 2MP intelligent camera that lets you analyze and process images on the edge for advanced machine vision and edge computing applications.
Historical data can be essential to making your electronics and Arduino projects do what you want them to do. Here’s everything you need to know about using recorded data in the Cloud, so you can choose exactly the right Arduino Cloud plan.
The field of soft tactile sensors is fascinating, as they grant robots the ability to move more freely or have greater granularity. Soft sensors also allow for human-computer interfaces to feel more interactive. However, previous sensors like these required multiple devices or complex wiring, making them difficult to use. To address these challenges, researchers from […]
Robots are often filled with a myriad of different sensors but being able to detect touch is still fairly tough. This is primarily due to needing a large sensing area, flexible surfaces, and usually having complex circuitry. Imagine a robotic gripper that uses several “fingers” to lift and manipulate produce, or a humanoid that can […]
Sensor deployment via unmanned aerial vehicles is an interesting concept. Up until now, you’ve had two options: use a drone that drops sensors onto the ground, or one with some kind of manipulator to stick them in particular place. However, researchers at Imperial College London have been studying a third approach, which shoots sensor pods from an […]
What really happens when you open the refrigerator door? Sure, you know intuitively that cold air escapes, but just how much? And how fast does the food inside actually heat up? To find out, Ryan Bates came up with his own data logging setup using an Arduino Uno, a custom sensor shield, and a microSD […]
