Sensify is a new technology that can turn Zigbee switches, bulbs, and plugs into sensors with a firmware update. This could be how Philips Hue will bring ambient sensing to its smart lights.

Sensors are devices that detect and quantify physical aspects of the world around us. The measurement can either be read directly or converted to a signal for processing by electrical, hydraulic ...

Encased in beeswax, the batteries can power small sensors to monitor temperature, light, and humidity in agriculture and environmental research. The biodegradable 3D-printed cells are encased in ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development and implementation of a human-like robotic hand integrated with advanced triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) based tactile sensors for shape and material ...

A demo of Ambient Sensing for Zigbee lights shows how smart lights could soon be used as motion sensors with just a firmware update and no additional hardware. Philips Hue products may soon ...

The existence of these sensors isn't entirely new when you compare the Switch 2's Joy-Con with the original. In fact, the original Nintendo Switch has an IR sensor of its own, but only on the ...

While artificial intelligence took center stage, there were more than 4,500 exhibitors, including electronic component manufacturers that showcased their latest innovations in audio chips, displays, ...
