Robots are getting in touch

January 9, 2019 By Aimee Kalnoskas

robots

by Rudy Ramos, Mouser Electronics Often overlooked is the value of a sense of touch in robotics development. Designers focus strongly on discrete features such as power, freedom of movement, and machine vision. However, tactile sensing complements all of these and helps make the most of them. Having a sense of touch also adds unique […]

Process lets sensors be applied by machine

September 29, 2016 By Patrick Curran

kurz-touch-sensor

Until now, plastic parts have predominantly been manually equipped with sensors using mainly the expensive OCA (optically clear adhesives) technology. Integration processes developed by Kurz, however, enable sensors to be applied very quickly and economically by machine. The sensors, including electrical connection (tail), are permanently bonded to the component and are immediately functional. This has […]
