Photos: Getting hands on with Microsoft touch
Photo In this research project seen here, dubbed SideSight, infrared sensors on the side of the device allow a user to rotate an image for example, by making a gesture to the side of the device. Here's some examples of how... [22 Oct 2008]
ID cards, driverless buses and virtual shipwrecks
Photo The bus uses sensors to detect magnetic fields created by magnets at the side of the road. The MoD showed off the computer games it uses to give army drivers in the Royal Logistics Corps experience of situations they... [02 Oct 2008]
Photos: Tomorrow's tech showcased by inventors
Photo This means data for aquatic research projects by oil companies or academics can be collected in one week rather than three, and batteries for underwater sensors last up to three times longer. Some of the UK's most... [18 Sep 2008]
Photos: Missile detecting DEC computer
Photo This machine, using its seismic sensors, tracked where the Jaguar had actually hit the ground with sufficient force to create a seismic shock and triangulated the position and within a day they were able to find the... [16 Sep 2008]
Photos: The bus that doesn't need a driver
Photo Sensors and processors on board the bus detected the magnets in the pavement and controlled the steering based upon the information they received. Sensors mounted under the bus measured the magnetic... [11 Sep 2008]
Photos: Early analogue torpedo simulator
Photo The output from it was connected to the sensors on the torpedo that could check whether the torpedo behaved in the expected way without actually using water or losing a torpedo. This is the PACE TR-48, an analogue... [09 Sep 2008]
Photos: Military robot wars
Photo Team Stellar comprises: Airborne Systems, Blue Bear Systems, Cranfield University, Marshall SELEX Sensors, Specialist Vehicles Stellar Services and TRW Conekt. The MoD has announced the winner of its Grand Challenge... [21 Aug 2008]
Photos: Unmanned 'spy in the sky' takes off
Photo One Watchkeeper operator controls the mission, with the other tracking the information being fed from the UAV sensors. The UK Ministry of Defence's Watchkeeper programme is aiming to develop an unmanned 'spy in the sky'... [15 Aug 2008]
Photos: 'Hero' bot hunts criminals
Photo The robot, seen showing off its agility here, can also be fitted with heartbeat detectors as well as sensors to identify chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear materials being smuggled into the UK. [24 Jul 2008]
Photos: Waging war on the web's bad guys
Photo Data for the intelligence network floods in from more than 40,000 registered sensors and two million probes in more than 180 countries. Symantec's security operations centre analyses more than one billion logs per day,... [21 Jul 2008]
Photos: Say hello to Intel's little helpers
Photo Using a combination of RFID technology and a bracelet equipped with an accelerometer, Intel researchers hope that sensors on everyday objects will be able to tell if someone is successfully going about their daily... [18 Jun 2008]
Photos: Welcome to Satyam's R&D labs
Photo A grid of 64 sensors monitors the surface of the image, playing piano notes as a person moves across its surface. The finished 3D version will pair a holographic projector with grids of sonar sensors... [19 May 2008]
Photos: Robot warriors engage in battle
Photo It's a simple rather unsophisticated device but many of these sensors can be carried onto the battlefield and dropped all over it, to give the soldiers in the area a powerful early-warning system if enemy troops move in. [06 May 2008]
India's high-tech cities, web whispers, Babbage's Difference engine and more...
Photo Once it has reached an object, sensors in its hands will guide it on opening and closing its gripper until it has a firm hold on the object. From 2012 the Land Environment Air Picture Provision programme (Leapp) will... [29 Apr 2008]
Photos: Robots, lasers, action
Photo Once it has reached an object, sensors in its hands will guide it on opening and closing its gripper until it has a firm hold, as pictured here. Researchers say one of the key benefits of the system is that El-E does not... [10 Apr 2008]
