The downside to this weirdness is that, in much the same way it’s unsafe to stare at the sun, there are some sights you shouldn’t point a camera at—like a Volvo EX90’s lidar sensor.

Waymo's sensor suite allows its robotaxis to see pedestrians in ways cameras may not be able to detect, co-CEO Dmitri Dolgov ...

This LiDAR depth sensor adopts the “Direct Time of Flight (dToF) method*1,” which delivers highly accurate measurement, distance resolution*2, and measuring range. By employing the proprietary dToF ...

The M40S features a newly engineered liftable LiDAR navigation module that intelligently lowers itself when approaching low clearance furniture. This design reduces the robot’s height to just 8 ...

Using Doppler lidar technology, the AWP tracks the movement of aerosols—small particles suspended in the atmosphere—to measure wind speed and direction with high accuracy. The system has been ...

(Hint: there’s no Arduino-provided code involved; hardware registers and the __asm keyword show up.) If you learned embedded programming in an earlier era, this will probably seem glaringly obvious.

What do you get when you combine an ESP32, a 16-bit DAC, an antique VFD, and an IDE CD-ROM drive? Not much, unless you put in the work, which [Akasaka Ryuunosuke] did to create ESPer-CDP, a modern ...

Rutronik Adapter Board RAB7 is an open-source hardware Arduino shield designed for AI-powered Sensor Fusion with seven environmental and inertial sensors from Bosch, Infineon, and Sensirion. The ...

Oslo-based Sonair claims that its Adar sensor offers a simpler, cheaper alternative to LiDAR sensors, with a wider field of view, and will transform robot safety zones from 2D to 3D. “Safety just got ...

Abstract: Human-robot collaboration represents a promising avenue for applications in future factory scenarios. Existing work predominantly concentrates on passive assistance based on real-time ...

Abstract: This paper presents a Lidar/ultra-wideband (UWB) fusion algorithm for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) with anti-degeneration capability. In the proposed algorithm, the sensor ...
