Does the Eye of Horus represent a smart sensor or smart sensing?

January 1, 2021 By Randy Frank

There are five human senses. However, the Eye of Horus used by Egyptians for thousands of years to provide protection, health and rejuvenation, depicts six senses: the usual smell, sight, taste, hearing and touch — as well as thought. Since thought is a process, could it indicate the addition of “smart” or a sensor processing […]

How do you get your sensing idea into production?

June 25, 2019 By Randy Frank

If the idea is already in the design phase, you may just be looking for a company that will manufacturer (fabricate or fab) your device. The choice of a fab involves different criteria including, of course, cost.  In addition to the wafer fabrication packaging is also a major consideration. A fab process that allows wafer […]

How small do the sensors in microrobots have to be?

June 23, 2019 By Randy Frank

Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology has created many of the sensors in today’s smartphones. While similar types of sensors are also used in robots and drones as well as other technologies including a variety of vision sensors, they may have to be even smaller to fit in an autonomous microrobot. Inspired by insects’ movements, engineers from […]
