While early scientists and inventors famously underestimated the value of radar, through the lens of history we can see how useful it became. Even though radar uses electromagnetic waves to detect ...

According to the National Safety Council (NSC), as many as 40,000 people died in motor vehicle crashes in the U.S. in 2016, the highest total in more than a decade. Among the main causes were speeding ...

A new category of sensing technology transforms mobile robot vision from 2D to 3D, improves safety performance and provides 50-80% cost savings compared to traditional, LiDAR-based systems and sensor ...

I recently met Dr. Dave Horsley, CTO and co-founder of Chirp Microsystems. This is a company that was created in 2013 after incubating with Skydeck at Berkeley and the government-based SBIR program.

Ultrasonic time-of-flight (ToF) sensors are embedding more powerful on-chip processors with higher computational capability to run a wide range of application algorithms while offloading the system ...

Consider scrapyards: These dirty outdoor environments are filled with objects of every shape, size, and material. Controls on machinery that manipulate scrap need sensors to detect when conveyor belts ...

The latest addition to the extensive, award-winning range of BAUMER sensors is the NexSonic UF300, an ultra-compact 18mm flat ultrasonic sensor with a 3-meter sensing range and ideally suited to ...

Ensuring safe social distancing is one piece of the puzzle for workers in the COVID-19 age. Ultrasonic range-finding sensors can measure the distance between workers with centimeter accuracy and alert ...

Ultrasonic close-range sensors have joined radar in the trash bin over at Tesla, which going forward will build its cars with only cameras onboard to power its driver assistance and collision ...
