What prosthetic limbs can do these days is nothing short of miraculous, and can change the life of an amputee in so many ways. But no matter what advanced sensors and actuators are added to the ...

Soft pressure sensors have received significant research attention in a variety of fields, including soft robotics, electronic skin, and wearable electronics. Wearable soft pressure sensors have great ...

Whenever a heart beats, it pumps blood into arteries. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of those arteries. Blood pressure is a central vital sign in a range of critical ...

Most engineers understand the concept of pressure. It’s a force, often measured in pounds, on a specific area. It is commonly listed in pounds per square inch (psi). But there are a variety of ...

Researchers have developed an ultrathin pressure sensor that can be attached directly to the skin. It can measure how fingers interact with objects to produce useful data for medical and technological ...

Sensor manufacturers typically calibrate the devices in the factory to achieve highly accurate outputs, but all sensors experience some offset error once they are in ...

A failed or damaged pressure sensor can lead to unexpected downtime and costs. To reduce these risks, engineers must consider how the various challenges of an application will affect sensors.

Pressure sensors are expected to stay accurate across everything from gentle touch to strong, shifting loads. Yet many flexible designs are most ...

In wearable devices, industrial tools, and medical systems, maintaining consistent and comfortable contact is fundamental ...

Note: This specialization requires purchase of a hardware kit in order to apply your knowledge and skill with real world tools. The hardware will be used to complete the lab exercises across the four ...
