In this video, I'm exploring the use of Mini PIR Sensors with ESP32 with both Arduino-based projects as well as making a movement sensor for Home Assistant by using ESPHome. The sensor is quite ...
In this video I'm building an Arduino Heart Rate Monitor that is housed in a toy handle in the style of the Star Trek Tricoder. The device uses the PulseSensor with an Arduino Pro Mini and an OLED ...
A flexible electronic skin stacks carbon nanotube layers to sense touch position and pressure simultaneously, performing classification through its physical structure rather than external processors. ...

If you’ve ever found yourself scrolling through a particularly infuriating thread of comments online, you might have come across someone interjecting with some version of the words “touch grass.” This ...
Researchers at China’s Tsinghua University’s Shenzhen International Graduate School have developed a next-generation tactile sensor called SuperTac. The project involved collaboration with multiple ...
Let’s face it: As we age, our vision and balance aren’t what they used to be. These changes to our senses can be minor annoyances but can also lead to injury, from stubbed toes to serious falls.
This all-purpose presence sensor is a master at monitoring indoor activity and linking it to smart home features you already use. Tyler has worked on, lived with and tested all types of smart home and ...
Aqara has announced the Spatial Multi-Sensor FP400, a new presence sensor that it says is precise enough to suss out whether you’re sitting, standing, or lying down. The FP400 builds on several past ...
Lexus has an interesting steering wheel button setup where there are two thumbpads on the spokes, unlabeled, that can be shifted between functions (like the shift key on your computer, not shifting ...
The patent is dubbed “Electronic Device With An Under-Display Sensor.” Fingerprint sensing and matching is widely used as a reliable technique for personal identification or verification. Apple says ...
The Venus flytrap possesses sensory hairs that detect prey via touch stimuli. Bending of the sensory hair trigger Ca 2+ and electrical signals that propagate to the leaf blade. Saitama, Japan: Plants ...
