➀ Sensor Technology Ltd has released the SGR523, a next-generation digital rotary torque sensor with high-resolution angular measurement, enhancing precision in industries requiring torque and angle monitoring.

➁ The SGR523 features non-contact strain gauge technology, offering high accuracy (±0.1%), real-time feedback, and support for bi-directional angle tracking, ideal for applications like robotic platforms and automated machinery.

➂ Key specifications include a torque range of 175 mNm to 20 Nm, up to 10,000 pulses per revolution, and compatibility with advanced monitoring software, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments.

➀ Researchers at Northeastern University have developed a hybrid robot that combines the strengths of rigid and soft robots, enabling it to handle delicate tasks like screwing in a lightbulb while maintaining necessary torque.

➁ This hybrid robot uses a novel material inspired by constant-velocity (CV) joints, which allows it to be flexible, extendable, and compliant while still applying force effectively.

➂ The innovation bridges the gap between traditional rigid and soft robotics, offering a new approach to robotic design that emphasizes both safety and functionality.
