Sensors

Researchers have found a way to create and clean tiny mechanical sensors in a scalable manner.

In this profile, Alexis Karandrea interviews Christina Schwartz to learn more about CorTec and the innovative technologies they offer and are developing for the research and clinical settings.

Versatile, light-weight materials that are both strong and resilient are crucial for the development of flexible electronics, such as bendable tablets and wearable sensors.

Cognitive buildings is not just the latest buzzword, it feels like a most natural evolution of what we think of today as a move towards smarter buildings.

Electrical engineers have invented an inexpensive printed sensor that can monitor the tread of car tires in real time, warning drivers when the rubber meeting the road has grown dangerously thin.

Two French companies on Nouvelle Aquitaine booth at IDTechEx show!

At the Augmented World Expo (AWE) 2017 last week IDTechEx analyst James Hayward began to subconsciously position each company and individual that he spoke to on a scale between two extremes, as explained in this article.

IDTechEx spoke to Sander Idelson and Founder/CEO Dr Ashod Donikian from Navisens at AWE 2017. They have developed a dead reckoning system for mapping spaces using IMUs in portable devices such as AR headsets.

Sturfee have developed a technique for 3D geospatial mapping using smartphone camera platforms alongside overhead photography data. They are a startup based in Santa Clara, and we spoke to them at AWE 2017.

Rokoko have developed a motion capture suit using IMUs positioned as nodes in a suit on the body. They are manufacturing their first 300 units, targeting the film and animation sector as their first market.

IDTechEx met with and attended presentations from Intel at AWE 2017. This profile gives an update on their progress with Project Alloy, their "Merged Reality" computing project.

IDTechEx caught up with Mark Williamson from Stretchsense at AWE 2017 in Santa Clara, USA.

IDTechEx met with the founders of Biointeractive Technologies (BIT) at AWE 2017. They are a Canadian start-up who have developed a wrist-worn sensing device based on force myography (FMR) in a wristband.

The eardrum, also called the tympanic membrane or myringa is a thin, cone-shaped membrane that plays a crucial role in sensing sound and transmitting the sound from the air to the ossicles.

May 10th-11th saw the 2017 European-leg of the IDTechEx Show! In this article IDTechEx analysts share some of the most interesting innovations on offer at the show.

Discuss pushing the boundaries in flexible electronics

IDTechEx interviewed Jeff Gabbay at the IDTechEx Show in Berlin. They were presenting their latest advances involving the use of ultrasonic treatment to impregnate cotton with various materials to add functionality.

Engineering researchers have developed a revolutionary process for 3D printing stretchable electronic sensory devices that could give robots the ability to feel their environment. The discovery is also a major step forward in printing electronics on real human skin.
