Dexterity in robotic hands is not enough to cover the demands for more flexibility manufacturing process. Specifically, processes that involve cooperation or learning from humans, slippage detection and tactile feedback improve grasp stability when different objects are manipulated, object exploration classification, quality inspection, welding, etc. The sense of touch key capabilities human hands, so sensors must be incorporated into them. However, sensing technology yet mature an effective...
Carbon dioxide detection is a relevant issue in many fields, and this work focuses on the use of BaTiO3-CuO sputtered thin film layer gas sensor prototype for air quality measurements. For this, double side was fabricated, with Pt heater one sensing over electrodes other side. The uniformity temperature tested further tests to check its performance were carried out. Humidity influence found be almost negligible within usual range measurements repeatability show satisfactory results control purposes.
An electrochemical DNA biosensor for the detection of carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule (CEACAM5), a specific tumor marker colorectal cancer, is presented. The based on microelectronicmechanical systems (MEMS) technology, consists three electrode configuration where working gold thin-film. immobilization previously designed capture probe performed by self-assembled monolayer (SAM) technique, and it hybridized with complementary target. formation biorecognition surface...

This paper describes the fully integration of an innovative and low-cost pressure sensor sheet based on a bendable printed electronics technology. All stages are covered, from most low-level functional system, like physical analog data acquisition, followed by embedded processing, to end user interactive visual application. Data acquisition software hardware was developed using Rapid Control Prototyping (RCP). Finally, after first electronic prototype successful testing, Taylor-made...
Abstract A large and low-cost pressure sensors technology based on flexible printing electronics for applications in neurorehabilatition scenarios is presented. An interactive real-time visualization of the center gravity has been carried out successfully: response time lower than 1 millisecond several scales are monitorized assigned to a range from chromatic scale. The sensor configuration formed by 16x16 array with resolution 2 centimeter square tactile unit total area 45x45 cm . system...
Abstract Zr(N)O coatings being synthesized by cathodic arc evaporation (P3e™ technology) show that cubic zirconia, ZrO 2 , can be formed at low substrate temperatures of 550 °C using nitrogen‐oxygen reactive gas mixtures during deposition. The structural properties the obtained for different ratios have been investigated X‐Ray Diffraction (XRD) techniques. composition layers was studied RBS and ERDA morphology cross sectional SEM. For oxygen flows, ZrN phase were while increased flow...

Yttrium stabilized zirconium oxide (YSZ) is a very interesting material for industrial applications such as fuel cells or electrochemical sensors. One of the approaches to improve performance these devices reduce YSZ thickness. In this work, fabrication process and structural properties RF sputtered thin films onto alumina substrates are analyzed. Under deposition conditions used in study, cubic layers have been obtained with crystallite size 19 nm. The ionic conductivity was also determined...
