Banner Engineering Corp. introduces the WORLD-BEAM® QS30 Clear Object Sensor, providing reliable clear object detection to solve challenging applications. The Clear Object Sensor utilizes an advanced ...

Using a 3D-printed material sensitive to electric fields, researchers have created a novel sensor that can accurately recognize and distinguish objects up to 10 centimeters – about four inches – away ...

July 25 (UPI) --A research team led by engineers with the University of California San Diego has shown off a robotic hand that can rotate an object in its palm using touch-based sensors rather than by ...

Chinese researchers have developed a new robot sensor that can “feel” objects without physical contact, inspired by electric eels. Similar to the eel, the new sensor uses weak electric fields that are ...

Future fully autonomous vehicles will rely on sensors to operate, one type of these sensors is LiDAR LiDAR sensor's effectiveness in detecting objects at a distance in heavy rain decreases, ...

MIT has developed an inexpensive sensor glove designed to enable artificial intelligence to figure out how humans identify objects by touch. Called the Scalable TActile Glove (STAG), it uses 550 tiny ...

A typical reflective object sensor consists of an infrared light emitter diode (IRED) and an NPN silicon phototransistor mounted side-by-side on parallel axes in a compact black plastic housing. The ...

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 ...
