Laser Proximity Sensors use laser beams to detect the presence or absence of objects within a certain range. They are used in security systems, robotics, automation, and industrial processes, where ...

We have integrated a new sensor behind the guidance kit, which is activated when it gets closer to the target,” one Thales Belgium official told Breaking Defense.

Featuring new firmware, the sensor combines window thresholds on both target distance and target reflected intensity, allowing easy solution of difficult applications. The unit can now detect clear ...

RS is offering Banner Engineering’s portfolio of non-contact sensors for industrial automation and Industry 4.0 applications, ...

Soft robotic hands can facilitate human–robot interaction by allowing robots to grasp a wide range of objects safely and gently. However, their performance has been hampered by a lack of suitable ...

Research scientist and entrepreneur Sverre Dokken believes laser-based remote sensing has big potential in the maritime domain. But what is LADAR, who’s it for and what are the key benefits? “Our ...

Have you ever wondered how a robot navigates a cluttered room or how a drone maintains its altitude with pinpoint accuracy? The secret lies in the tools used to measure distance, an often-overlooked ...

Of course, many different types of distance measuring sensors exist but not all sensors are the same. Each sensor has its own advantages and disadvantages. At its most basic level, a distance ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The burgeoning demands for health care and human-machine interfaces call for the next generation of multifunctional and flexible integrated sensor systems. Principally, flexible ...
