For years, machines have navigated the world color-blind. LiDAR sensors – the laser-based eyes of self-driving cars, ...

Kennametal’s KCU25B tooling proved durable enough for turn-peeling a lengthy austenitic stainless steel 1.4435 rotor while reducing cycle times.

Researchers in Hong Kong have developed a 3D micro-printed sensor for highly sensitive on-chip biosensing. The sensor, which is based on a polymer whispering-gallery-mode microlaser, opens new ...

The huge diversity of sensors and other hardware which our community now has access to seems comprehensive, but there remain many parts which have made little impact due to cost or scarcity. It’s one ...

Sensor fusion combines multiple sensing modalities to improve environmental perception, obstacle avoidance, and safety in autonomous systems. AI-enabled vision and 3D depth sensing are revolutionizing ...

Early-stage disease diagnosis relies on the highly sensitive detection of biomarkers. Optical whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) microcavity sensors have emerged as a highly promising technology for ...

Laser Proximity Sensors use laser beams to detect the presence or absence of objects within a certain range. They are used in security systems, robotics, automation, and industrial processes, where ...

Researchers at Empa have developed machine learning algorithms that reduce preliminary testing in laser-based metal additive manufacturing by about two-thirds without compromising quality. Using ...

MIT engineers have created the first 3D-printed plasma sensors that can be used on orbiting spacecraft. These sensors, known as retarding potential analyzers (RPAs), are used by satellites to ...
