Soft sensors, also known as virtual sensors, are software that can process hundreds of measurements in combination. Plant managers who want to add soft sensors may be overwhelmed by the scope of ...

Real-time, in-process monitoring and control is a foundational enabler of Biopharma 4.0. Despite the (apparent) stakeholder buy-in, however, progress in achieving this basic capability has been slow.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Human skin is a sensitive detector of both pressure and temperature sets the performance benchmark for the development of artificial tactile systems. Researchers are working on ...

The next generation of soft robotics, smart clothing and biocompatible medical devices are going to need integrated soft sensors that can stretch and twist with the device or wearer. The challenge: ...

Robots that can sense touch and perceive temperature differences? An unexpected material might just make this a reality. Researchers are developing soft and intelligent sensor materials based on ...

(Nanowerk News) Most people think of coffee cups, bathroom tiles or flower pots when they hear the word "ceramic". Not so Frank Clemens. For the research group leader in Empa's Laboratory for ...

Woods Hole, Mass. (April 16, 2024) -- Tagging marine animals with sensors to track and study their movements can provide researchers with important environmental and behavioral information, including ...

Fatigue can often only be measured in real time using complex systems. A simple soft sensor uses magneto elasticity and even works wirelessly. A research team at the University of California, Los ...

Empa researcher Frank Clemens and his team develop soft and intelligent sensors materials based on ceramic particles. Most people think of coffee cups, bathroom tiles or flower pots when they hear the ...
