Abstract: We provide a method for detecting and localizing objects near a robot arm using arm-mounted miniature time-of-flight sensors. A key challenge when using arm-mounted sensors is ...

Industrial quality inspection plays a critical role in manufacturing, from ensuring the reliability of electronics and vehicles to preventing costly failures in aerospace and energy systems.

Designed to assist rather than replace doctors, a new autonomous tool scans clinical notes to highlight patients who may need urgent follow-up for cognitive decline and potential dementia. When you ...

New peer-reviewed research suggests Apple Watch could play a much bigger role in spotting atrial fibrillation. In a real-world study, researchers found that smartwatch-based monitoring caught far more ...

The human sense of touch turns out to be much more sensitive than we thought. It goes beyond just simple physical contact with an object. A new study has demonstrated that humans have the ability to ...

Recent research suggests that humans have a surprising ability—we can sometimes feel a physical object before making contact with it. In a study published this past October in the journal IEEE ...

The tests have not been approved by federal regulators, but that hasn’t stopped patients from wanting them — and doctors from worrying. By Nina Agrawal In the spring of 2021, the cancer field was ...

Astronomers have detected a massive object moving in a synchronized path behind Earth. Early measurements suggest it has been trailing the planet longer than previously assumed. Its trajectory does ...

Because of different types of sensory nerve endings in our fingertips, we are amazingly good at sensing hidden objects in granular materials like sand. Fingers moving over sand cause perturbations in ...

Cancer continues to be one of the world's top causes of death, partly because of delayed discovery of the disease. But according to a recently released study, a simple blood test may be able to ...
