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 ...

CMOS image sensors have become a cornerstone of modern imaging, leveraging the advantages of low power consumption, high speed, and scalability inherent in complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor ...

If you are blind or your vision is impaired, moving around in a new space can be a harrowing experience. A cane helps, but only samples one point at a time, and can’t help that much above a certain ...

TDK has put an mems piezoelectric ultrasonic time-of-flight distance sensor inside a 3.5 x 3.5mm package along with its signal chain. “ICU-10201 offers the sensitivity required for obstacle avoidance ...

STMicroelectronics has launched the VL53L8CX, its latest-generation 8x8 multizone time-of-flight (ToF) ranging sensor, that can deliver a range of improvements including greater ambient-light immunity ...

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 ...

Targeting distance sensing in a range of consumer and industrial applications, STMicroelectronics has upgraded its VL53L5 multi-zone FlightSense time-of-flight (ToF) sensor with a new set of ...
