[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 ...

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 ...

The ProX 950 production printers offer, thanks to the stereolithography (SLA) system, the highest accuracy, speed and the largest format available on the market today. These printers offer ...

Sensors are devices that detect and quantify physical aspects of the world around us. The measurement can either be read directly or converted to a signal for processing by electrical, hydraulic ...

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.

Sensify is a new technology that can turn Zigbee switches, bulbs, and plugs into sensors with a firmware update. This could be how Philips Hue will bring ambient sensing to its smart lights.

A demo of Ambient Sensing for Zigbee lights shows how smart lights could soon be used as motion sensors with just a firmware update and no additional hardware. Philips Hue products may soon ...

The F-22 will receive an embedded set of TacIRST sensors as part of the Infrared Defensive System to enhance aircraft survivability and lethality. Lockheed Martin announced on Jan. 22, 2025 ...

Encased in beeswax, the batteries can power small sensors to monitor temperature, light, and humidity in agriculture and environmental research. The biodegradable 3D-printed cells are encased in ...
