[mircemk] shows how to create a simple non-contact proximity sensor using little more than an Arduino Nano board, and a convenient software library intended to measure the value of capacitors.

We propose a method for simultaneous articulated robot posture estimation and environmental mapping by integrating data from proximity sensors distributed over the whole body. Our method extends the ...

We recommend using your OS's package manager directly instead for improved security but the install script is by no means insecure. In addition to being a runnable CLI tool, D2 can also be used to ...

In this modern age, IR sensors are typically used in motion detectors and the best VR headsets. In the latter, they measure the depth of a space and your proximity to things in your environment.

While the 1950s was a time of truly unusual and fast-paced innovation in military aerospace, one of the more bizarre projects ...

Credit: Jon-Paul Maria Scientists at Penn State have discovered a method to induce ferroelectric properties in non-ferroelectric materials by layering them with ferroelectric materials, a phenomenon ...

Leveraging rich data on the universe of Texas high school graduates, we estimate how the relationship between geographic access to public two- and four-year postsecondary institutions and ...

Nobu Teranishi, Albert Theuwissen and Eric Fossum, who between them made key breakthroughs in the development of both CCD and CMOS sensors, have collaborated on an article for the open-access "Annual ...

Excalidraw is an innovative online whiteboarding tool that uses the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to convert simple text prompts into detailed, professional-quality diagrams. Whether you ...
