SENSORICS LEAD THE WAY
"In the growing knowledge-based UK economy, the links between research and development, innovation and exploitation are crucial. In recent years a key growing link to university based research has been via the spinout company. "
"Through enterprise activities universities are now investing much more of their intellectual property in spinout companies and sharing equity with their academic staff inventors. Some universities have financial regimes in place to provide access to the high risk seed- corn and

VISION ENABLED ROBOTS COST LESS
"A major building products supplier is among the first to adopt the new generation of Vision Enabled Robots (VER), able to make faster decisions based on sensory feedback from their environment."
"Robots are routinely rigged to incorporate proximity, touch or laser sensors, but recent advances in the use of Machine Vision (MV) enabled within robots is reducing the cost. If product is not in a repeatable position, additional infrastructure is needed. Palletising previously required the manufacturer to co

NEW TORQUE SENSOR WILL REVOLUTIONISE MACHINE CONTROL
"Sensor Technology has launched the RWT310/320 series of OEM torqsense rotary torque sensors. Unlike traditional slip ring transducers, the RWT units make use of a simple non contact measurement technique of a radio frequency (RF) couple for power and signal communication. "
"This means that the units are mechanically straightforward and as such they stand to completely redefine the expectations of machine builders and control engineers in applications such as machine control, aerospace, automotive, and
