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 ...

Regardless of your UAV application, payload matters, and counting grams is something all engineers and mission managers do. It’s worth remembering how the word ‘payload’ came into being. The term ...

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 ...
