Abstract: This paper presents a capacitive rotary encoder for both angular position and angular speed measurements. The encoder is mainly composed of three parts: the transmitting segments; a pair of ...

Let's build a TBot cartesian motion platform I needed an XY motion platform for an upcoming project, and had some prior CAD work for a "T-Bot" parallel cartesian mechanism. Let's machine some parts ...

DeepSeek’s new artificial intelligence model that converts images into text is not just a document parsing tool but a potential preview of its next generation of large language models (LLMs), ...

Here’s a test for infants: Show them a glass of water on a desk. Hide it behind a wooden board. Now move the board toward the glass. If the board keeps going past the glass, as if it weren’t there, ...

In a nutshell: Canadian hardware maker Ploopy is now accepting pre-orders for its latest input device. The Ploopy Knob is a 3D-printed, open-source rotary encoder featuring a high-precision sensor ...

While large language models (LLMs) have mastered text (and other modalities to some extent), they lack the physical "common sense" to operate in dynamic, real-world environments. This has limited the ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

Precision of rotational and linear measurement underpins motion control systems, and optical encoders are a mainstay in delivering this. Converting mechanical motion into digital signals enables ...

In any application using motors for automation, there is a need to ensure accurate control of the motor. To make this possible, the position and speed of the rotor in the motor, which is usually ...

A team of researchers have developed a method for extracting authentication keys out of HID encoders, which could allow hackers to clone the types of keycards used to secure offices and other areas ...

Back in 2021, a childhood dream came true for me. After wishing I could have my very own arcade cabinet as a kid, I finally turned that into a reality when I reviewed a cabinet by a new company, ...
