Abstract: In recent years, human cooperative robots (HCRs) have attracted considerable attention. HCRs should be equipped with proximity and contact sensors to ensure human safety. This study combines ...

As one of the most important components in robots, sensors can be categorized into proprioceptive sensors and exteroceptive sensors. Proprioceptive sensors measure internal data such as joint speed, ...

Isikawa, Japan-- In recent years, robots have become incredibly sophisticated machines capable of performing or assisting humans in all tasks. The days of robots functioning behind a security barrier ...

With the rise of collaborative machines where do you start when it comes to selecting sensors for cobots? By Markus Lorenz. Collaborative robots – 'cobots' have quickly become a familiar sight within ...

Two tiny ICs and a few passive components can yield a capacitive proximity sensor with excellent sensitivity and extremely fast response time. The circuit’s operation leverages the pulse-front-edge ...
