The AirPods Pro earbuds don’t use tap gestures, but a clever force sensor, avoiding putting pressure on your ears and offering a better way to control your music.

Unlike strain gages that can measure static forces, piezoelectric force sensors are mostly used for dynamic- force measurements such as oscillation, impact, or highspeed compression or tension.

Scientists from Hong Kong’s universities (China) have developed the F3T soft tactile sensor. It can accurately measure and decouple 3D forces and temperature, a key advancement for robotic ...
