Every robotics project out there, it seems, needs a way to detect if it’s smashing into a wall repeatedly, acting like the brainless automaton it actually is. The Roomba has wall sensors, just about ...

The various ways your PC-screen “privacy” can be compromised. How a sensitive time-of-flight (ToF) transducer can be a critical privacy (and power-saving) building block. The many circumstances for ...

[Mellow_Labs] picked up a few LiDAR matrix sensors and found them very exciting. While a normal time-of-flight sensor can accurately determine a range, the matrix sensor is like an array of 64 sensors ...

LiDAR, or Light Detection and Ranging, is a great way to provide computers with information about the surrounding environment. It uses time-of-flight, usually with an LED source. The technology is ...

An indirect time-of-flight sensor, the AF0130 from onsemi offers long-distance measurements and 3D imaging of fast-moving objects. It features a depth processing ASIC beneath its pixel area, which ...

In recent decades, a quiet revolution has reshaped how we interact with the objects and systems in our daily lives. What once required cranks or rotary mechanisms, and later the press of a button, is ...
