Abstract: This study proposes the development of a one-axis torque sensor that can be integrated into robotic joint actuators, featuring an innovative structural design with enhanced overload ...

Light aircraft often use a heading indicator as a way to know where they’re going. Retired instrumentation engineer [Don Welch] recreated a heading indicator of his own, using cheap ...

The most advanced new surgical procedure, AMI, addresses proprioception. This refers to the ability to sense position and movement. In an intact human arm or leg, muscles work in pairs. When a bicep ...

Abstract: We provide a method for detecting and localizing objects near a robot arm using arm-mounted miniature time-of-flight sensors. A key challenge when using arm-mounted sensors is ...

Gabriel Gomes believes the future of chemistry is as much about flasks and fume hoods as it is about code. A chemical engineer at Carnegie Mellon University, Gomes works at the intersection of ...

Researchers have developed a new system that could help improve safety of driverless cars. The system lets robots see around corners using radio waves processed by AI. Developed by Penn Engineers, the ...

The compound eyes of the humble fruit fly are a marvel of nature. They are wide-angle and can process visual information several times faster than the human eye. Inspired by this biological ...

HoloRadar uses radio waves to see around corners, allowing it to detect people at T-shaped intersections like the one pictured here. Penn Engineers have developed a system that lets robots see around ...

The Marines have tapped one of the companies competing to build the Air Force’s drone wingman to help develop its own Corps-specific Collaborative Combat Aircraft program, a key element of its new ...
