MEMS consist of any combination of mechanical (levers, springs, membranes, combs, channels) and electrical (resistors, capacitors, inductors, etc.) components to work as sensors or actuators. In their ...

Pushing robots beyond traditional “safe but slow” parameters requires sensing and perception capabilities that can adapt in ...

Some other kinds of sensors can also reach this level with careful calibration, but the researchers see atoms as having significant potential with further development. Unlike mechanical devices ...

The working principle of ... When these materials are subjected to mechanical strain, the piezoelectric effect generates electrical charges, which can be collected and stored for powering small ...
