Creating capacitive touch-sensitive buttons is easy these days; many microcontrollers have cap-sense hardware built-in. This will work for simple on/off control, but what if you want a linear, ...

The Capacitive Touch Sensor (CTS) is a gesture sensitive functional textile touch-pad interface for physical devices. The CTS is produced as a single piece of fabric requiring only two electrodes to ...

• Trapped acoustic resonance is most simply described with an analogy: the ringing of a bell. • Microprocessors control the frequency of the mechanical resonance and monitors its decay. • A thicker ...

A new sensor gives robots a human-like sense of touch, helping them handle objects safely while improving wearables and ...

Apple is examining a shift from a force sensor in AirPods to a capacitive touch system to make a set easier to control, and provide new options. The latest in Apple's surprisingly long history of ...

Haptic sensors have been around for a while now and come in various forms. Regardless of the type of haptic technology utilized, they all work around similar principles of using a combination of force ...

You can’t have a touch sensitive switch without a way to detect the presence of a finger! A touch sensor, especially a capacitive touch sensor, has some surprisingly sophisticated electronics to ...
