Sensors working overtime: Bosch's big plans for the Internet of Things

Around three quarters of these devices across the world are fitted with one of Bosch's tiny MEMS (micro-electro mechanical systems) accelerometer sensors. Despite measuring just 2.5mm x 3mm, these sensors work by detecting the earth's gravity and are ...
