Sleephackers go to bed with sensors on their wrists and foreheads and maintain detailed electronic sleep diaries, which they often share online. To shift between sleep phases, sleephackers experiment with various diets, room and body temperatures, and kinds of pre-sleep physical exercise.

If you look at the history of innovation, the innovations coming through the defence department have been some of the most important innovations ever. Little things like drones, sensors, and the Internet of Things are defence-type initiatives, but the big one is the Internet itself.

As sensors and networks continue to expand around the world, we'll see violence drop even further. After all, when there's a danger that your actions can be caught on tape and shown around the world, you're more responsible for your behavior.

Lighter computers and lighter sensors would let you have more function in a given weight, which is very important if you are launching things into space, and you have to pay by the pound to put things there.

When I'm in 'Man vs. Wild' mode, it's not pleasure. Every sensor is firing and I'm on reserve power all the time and I'm digging deep - and that's the magic of it as well, and that's raw and it's great.

When a regular camera focuses physically, what the regular camera is doing is adjusting the lens relative to the sensor to bring different parts of the scene into focus.

There is a shirt company that is making sensors that go into your clothing. They will watch how you sit, run or ski and give data on that information.

Thank you... motion sensor hand towel machine. You never work, so I just end up looking like I'm waving hello to a wall robot.

NEOWISE needed a cryogen coolant to keep its sensors cool, and that ran out.

Sensors are not just passive; they actively respond to changes they detect.

Detect and Respond

Sensors can be visible gadgets or hidden within devices.

Various Forms

The word 'sensor' is often found in technical or specialized discussions.

Technical Vocabulary

Sensors in machines are crucial for automation and safety.

Machine Integration

Machine sensors alert users to changes that require attention or adjustment.

Physical Changes Alert

Electronic sensors convert physical occurrences into electrical signals for analysis.

Electrical Conversion

Many common devices use sensors to improve user experience.

Everyday Devices

Sensors enable interaction with digital systems by interpreting the physical world.

 - So you can see your aperture. That's what your camera's doing automatically. There's only three things cameras do. So you have a sensor. You have an aperture and a shutter. That's what a camera is. - That's right, yep. - Everything with those basics. - You know, we always say art imitates life. I feel like that is pretty spot on and transcends any walk of life

 Right. You know, so from a sensors and actuators standpoint, it's certainly been demonstrated by many that it's possible to make a humanoid robot. The things that are currently missing are enough intelligence for the robot to navigate the real world and do useful things without being explicitly instructed.

 But the next real-world generation of spacecraft may be much, much smaller. We're talking fit-inside-your-pocket tiny. Imagine sending a swarm of these microspacecraft out into the galaxy. They could explore distant stars and planets by carrying sophisticated electronic sensors

 Now, the detectors take snapshots of about a billion of these collisions per second to find signs of extremely rare massive particles. To add to the difficulty, the particles we're looking for may be unstable and decay into more familiar particles before reaching the sensors.

Could we create dark...

 that's telling it what to do, and the computer is listening through its sensors. But that's really only half of the story. The real story is that the computer is on one side, making suggestions to the robot, and on the other side are the physics of the world.

 some studies have found that butterflies will raise one leg in the air to kind of do their pre-flight checks as if they're checking the wind see if they can take off and then yeah they've got sensors in their feet and once they realize the conditions are
