Capacitive touch sensors are fast becoming an integral part of many electronic goods these days. Made popular by products like the Apple iPod adopting it, capacitive sensors have now become the ...

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 ...

A team from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Germany have developed a novel thumb-shaped touch sensor capable of resolving the force of a contact, as well as its direction, over the ...

The new iPad Air is the first Apple device to have a fingerprint reader under the power button. We'll show you how to set it up. Jason Cipriani is based out of beautiful Colorado and has been covering ...

As we move into a world where human-machine interactions are becoming more prominent, pressure sensors that are able to analyze and simulate human touch are likely to grow in demand. As we move into a ...

Inexpensive silicon rubber composites used to make robotic skin host an insulating layer which prevents direct electrical contact, making accurate and repeatable measurements virtually impossible. Low ...

Capacitive touch sensors are entirely in the domain of DIY, requiring little more than a carefully-chosen conductive surface and a microcontroller. This led [John Phillips] to ask why not embed such ...

Soft skin coverings and touch sensors have emerged as a promising feature for robots that are both safer and more intuitive for human interaction, but they are expensive and difficult to make. A ...
