Sensors help microprocessor-based systems find their bearings. Where would embedded systems be without them? Sensors provide the windows through which microprocessor-based systems can observe their ...

Some motion sensors are based on optical measurement technologies to provide accurate velocity and position measurements without requiring physical contact with the object or surface being monitored.

Developers, makers and hobbyists building projects requiring distance sensors may be interested to know that the new Garmin’s LIDAR-Lite V3 is now available to purchase from online stores such as ...

Fiber-optic sensors work well in tight spots and in applications with a high degree of electrical noise, but care must be taken when specifying these critical components. Sensing part presence in ...

Researchers have developed a tiny fiber optic force sensor that can measure extremely slight forces exerted by small objects. The new light-based sensor overcomes the limitations of force sensors ...
