The robot uses a whopping 32 IR sensors to follow a black line across a concrete workshop floor, adjusting its path using a steering motor salvaged from a power wheelchair. An Arduino Mega Pro ...

We’re all used to general purpose microcontroller boards such as the Arduino or its many imitators, but perhaps we don’t see as much of their industrial cousins. A programmable logic ...

A Volvo EX90's lidar sensor was caught on video damaging a ... It works by firing pulses of laser light (often in the near-infrared spectrum) and measuring the time it takes for them to bounce ...

In infrared sensors, the semiconductor material plays a critical role in detecting light signals and converting them into electrical signals. SWIR sensors designed for advanced applications ...

Precision sensor supplier Micro-Epsilon has extended its non-contact laser distance sensor portfolio with a low cost unit ...

Abstract: In this letter, we provide a complete set of split-window coefficients that can be used to retrieve land surface temperature (LST) from thermal infrared sensors onboard the most popular ...

Abstract: this paper reports the theory, fabrication and testing of a novel uncooled infrared (IR) sensor using amorphous silicon thin film transistors (a-Si TFTs) as the active elements. The measured ...

A tiling of larger-format sensors would produce an IR survey instrument with significant cost savings relative to HgCdTe-based cameras, if one is willing to forego the K band. Such a camera would be ...

This is an Arduino library for SDI-12 communication with a wide variety of environmental sensors. It provides a general software solution, without requiring any additional hardware, to implement the ...
