The Apple iPhone brought the benefits of integrated multi-sensor technology to the masses, and while the application of sensors and their associated algorithms has multiplied and changed the world ...

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 ...

The monitoring of rotation can involve such sensor types as proximity, photoelectric, resolvers, encoders, and tachometer generators. Most determine direction of rotation, speed, and angular position ...

The ability to detect human presence can be a pretty powerful attribute for a number of devices. Versions of this technology have been around for quite some time, but artificial intelligence and ...

A device that senses when another object is close by. In a mobile phone, a proximity sensor is most commonly used to detect when the phone is held to the face. Specifically, the sensor detects human ...

Proximity sensors head off these and other related conditions by detecting speed, accuracy, target orientation and position, part ejection, and hole placement. The use of proximity sensors within a ...

Today, most modern Android devices are kitted out with a bunch of sensors. You can use this information in lots of different ways – whether it’s monitoring light levels so your application can ...

The GP2Y0D02 is an infrared proximity sensor with a detection field that extends 80cm. This type of sensor can be used to build collision avoidance systems for robots. We’ll demonstrate this sensor ...
