As a device, MEMS refers to something that is considered to be “a microscopic device” featuring “electrical functionality” and “moving parts”. This combination of both electrical and mechanical functions allows products to be developed, such as microphones, loudspeakers, pressure sensors, and a...
However, with MEMS, it is now possible to miniaturize products and manufacture parts that can be mass-produced more easily, which has greatly improved efficiency. When one hears the phrase “a combination of semiconductors and mechanical structures such as micrometer-sized sensors and actuators,” ...
The internet of things, or IoT, is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers ( UIDs ) and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer in...
Read how MEMS, micro versions of normal full-size mechanical and electrical components, allow smartphones, wearables, and automobiles to do amazing things.

MEMS extend the fabrication techniques developed for the integrated circuit industry to add mechanical elements like beams, gears, diaphragms, and springs to chips. In this comprehensive guide, we will cover: The components and operating principles of MEMS devices Various types of MEMS sensors, ...
Overview EVAL-ADXL1001Z is an evaluation board from Analog Devices to quickly evaluate the MEMS acceleration sensor "ADXL1001". ADXL1001 is a flat, 1 axis, analog output accelerometer with a wide linear frequency response range (DC to 11 kHz) and an ultr
MEMS is a device/system that combines mechanical elements such as actuators and sensors with electronic circuits on a semiconductor substrate. It is manufactured using the same process as semiconductor chips, but with the difference that the 3D structure is built using a more complex process. ...
The Profi MEMS Tool development platform by STMicroelectronics lets engineers visualize the behavior of ST’s MEMS sensors, helping accelerate time to market and maximize the performance of new product designs. Featuring a high-performing STM32F401 microcontroller and flexible power management, the main...
This paper deals with the latest development of MEMS(micro electro mechanical systems) and its application to robotics. The MEMS technology is expected to have impacts on Robotics in three ways: (1) providing sensors and actuators, (2) introducing a new intelligent system concept, such as an ...
