Borrowing its shape from a disposable to-go cup lid, this new drone wing adapts to its surroundings all on its own.
Results for "sensors"
Leveraging the nervous system to manage pain
Implantable and completely dissolvable electrical devices may end the dominance of opioids in managing pain.
Silicon retinas to help robots navigate the world
Fusing data from multiple moving cameras helps robots generate realistic 3D maps of their surroundings.
Sensor translates sign language into audio
With the help of machine learning, a skin-like sensor internalizes different stimuli, allowing it to read and interpret hand movement.
Energy generated in the blink of an eye
A tiny battery built into smart contact lenses produces its own power through eye blinking, relying on tears and oxygen to power its cells.
Facial movement allows hands-free control of devices
Sensors developed to respond to jaw movement can be connected wirelessly to different devices for hands-free control.
