3D printed wall can communicate with its developers
The sensors provide real-time data about temperature, strain, relative humidity, pressure, electrical resistivity, and electrochemical potential — metrics that could potentially aid researchers in both detecting and correcting structural flaws before they occur.
Free drive technology webinars from Faulhaber
Webinars on stepper motors, noise development in miniature drives, how linear drives function or selecting the right encoder are available.
High-speed robotic parcel sorting system introduced by Ambi Robotics
Ambi Robotics has introduced its AmbiSort B-Series, a modular parcel induction and sorting solution designed to automate the tasks of inducting and sorting parcels into gaylord destinations, and thus automating the labor-intensive manual sorting of supply chain operations.
Automating compliance with nuclear arms agreements
N-SpecDir Bot can reportedly be programmed to detect a nearby source of neutrons — sub-atomic particles from the nucleus of an atom — and the direction they are coming from as well as the intensity of their source.
SABIC launches pilot blockchain project to advance emissions tracking and reductions across value chains
The project will evaluate the use of blockchain software in tracing the carbon footprint of specific material streams from end to end.
Raspberry-picking robot trained on fake fruit
Considered a particularly difficult task, picking raspberries involves multiple skills, according to the researchers. The robot must be able to determine which fruit is ripe and to be capable of picking it without damaging it.
Watch off-road autonomous vehicle testing in the digital world
A technological road to the safe and digital evaluation of autonomous vehicle performance in off-road settings has been paved by the U.S. Southwest Research Institute.
Emerson introduces healthcare industry’s first integrated manifold solution for respiratory therapy devices
This manifold reduces manufacturer engineering and assembly time and improves energy efficiency, product lifespan and reliability of devices.
Turtle bot can swim under sand
Taking inspiration from turtle hatchlings with their oversized flippers, the robot is also designed with large flippers that enable it to “swim” in up to 5 inches of sand.
Flexible sensors stretch greenhouse gas detection capability
Simple to produce and scalable, the flexible photodetector covers the full spectrum of greenhouse gases without the need for complex optical components.
Halliburton introduces EarthStar X
The EarthStar X service's near-bit, ultra-deep reservoir mapping sensor increases well placement accuracy — detecting geological changes early and enabling quick well trajectory correction to remain in the most productive zones and maximize asset value.
MDT introduces magnetic switch sensor series for magnetic tamper detection, pneumatic cylinder position sensing
MultiDimension Technology Co., Ltd. (MDT) has expanded its AMR magnetic sensor portfolio with the latest addition of AMR132x and AMR134x AMR switch sensor series.
Digital microscope simplifies cell culture checks
A new digital transmitted light inverted microscope for routine cell culture enables laboratory personnel to easily check and document cell growth.
Kemba, the cheetah-inspired robot, has pneumatic actuators to reach higher running speeds
Kemba, which is supported by a boom, weighs 7 kg, repeatedly jumps to a height of 0.5 m with controlled landings, and reportedly reaches a maximum jump height of 1 m.
Flexible, fast platform for large-area photonic test and assembly
A scalable, high-speed gantry architecture for fast scan, gradient search and align applications.
Skyworks automotive solutions
Automotive-grade isolation products bridge the high- and low-voltage vehicle systems for intelligent communication and control.
Ghost imaging captures 3D images on a microscopic scale
The method effectively captured 3D images of microscopic items by probing 4 mm by 4 mm by 600 µm cubes with terahertz radiation.
Arburg banks on growing willingness to invest
Arburg is responding to buyers' desire to save energy and the country's increased need for sustainability with its presence at Plast 2023 in Milan, Italy.
Detecting AF in shoppers using grocery cart handles
Researchers incorporated electrocardiogram (ECG) sensors into cart handles to screen shoppers for atrial fibrillation (AF).
New AI-assisted planning and tracking tools promise to battle construction delays
The Plan Tracker suite, designed to easily integrate into existing management processes, comprises two new tools: 'Workplan' and 'Targets', both of which are driven by real-world site progress data and advanced AI algorithms.
