Can robots finally handle transparent objects? the answer is a cautious “yes, if they see differently” As automation expands across manufacturing, logistics, and food service, one stubborn problem has continued to limit robotic deployment: handling transparent and reflective objects. From glassware and plastic packaging to polished metal components, these materials routinely confuse conventional vision systems, forcing costly human intervention.

From railways to renewable energy to marine applications and motor control, resistors are an essential component of many electrical and mechanical systems. But failing to keep your resistors in good condition can threaten their reliability, resulting in reduced functionality and safety issues. Here, Mike Torbitt, managing director of resistor manufacturer Cressall, offers advice on how to extend resistor lifespan.

Across industry, traditional controls are being replaced by digital interfaces, removing the tactile cues that once guided human action. In demanding environments this shift affects performance, safety and operator confidence. Here, Ross Turnbull, director of business development at ASIC, Swindon Silicon Systems, explains how custom IC-powered haptics are restoring touch to modern human-machine interfaces.
