ST’s VL53L5CX is a very small 8×8 grid ranging sensor that can perform distance measurements at a distance of up to 4 meters. In a recent video,[Henrique Ferrolho] demonstrated that ...

Let’s face it: As we age, our vision and balance aren’t what they used to be. These changes to our senses can be minor annoyances but can also lead to injury, from stubbed toes to serious falls.

Abstract: We investigate methods for determining if a planar surface contains geometric deviations (e.g., protrusions, objects, divots, or cliffs) using only an instantaneous measurement from a ...

This all-purpose presence sensor is a master at monitoring indoor activity and linking it to smart home features you already use. Tyler has worked on, lived with and tested all types of smart home and ...

PythoC lets you use Python as a C code generator, but with more features and flexibility than Cython provides. Here’s a first look at the new C code generator for Python. Python and C share more than ...

Have you ever wondered how a robot navigates a cluttered room or how a drone maintains its altitude with pinpoint accuracy? The secret lies in the tools used to measure distance, an often-overlooked ...

Abstract: In this paper, we propose a novel orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) waveform framework by capitalizing on the benefits of maximum distance separable (MDS) code and the ...

RPS-429AA-40P-IS2 intrinsically safe (IS), ultrasonic sensor achieves precise accuracy in distance measurement and object detection applications. With ATEX, IECEx and C-UL-US certifications, this ...

There are a whole bunch of different ways to create 3D scans of objects these days. Researchers at the [UW Graphics Lab] have demonstrated how to use a small, cheap time-of-flight sensor to generate ...

Of course, many different types of distance measuring sensors exist but not all sensors are the same. Each sensor has its own advantages and disadvantages. At its most basic level, a distance ...
