Although ultrasonic sensors have been around for several decades, their popularity in sensing applications continues due to their capability, flexibility and relatively low cost. Products like ...

Ultrasonic sensors measure the distance between a target and the sensor using high-frequency sound waves that are inaudible to humans. The process is simple: the sensor emits ultrasonic waves, which ...

There is a lot of buzz about electromagnetic (EM) detection and ranging sensor technology, which encompass radar, lidar, infrared (IR), ultra-wide bandwidth (UWB), and many others. However, there are ...

Sonair is pushing towards a new sensor built on 3D ultrasonic technology, giving autonomous robotics the power to see and make the right decisions. Ralph W. Bernstein is the senior business developer ...

[Klaus] wanted some sort of aid for parking his car, and after running across a $4 ultrasonic sensor, decided to build his own speaking distance sensor (.de, Google Translation). Inside [Klaus]’ ...

Ultrasonic sensors can measure distance without contact. can measure distance without contact. They bridge the gap between proximity and photoelectric sensing. They possess a longer sensing distance ...

The NexSonic technology is designed to maximise ultrasonic sensor performance and is based on an ultrasonic processor (ASIC) ...

Swiss company senseFly is best known for its fixed-wing industrial drones, such as the eBee and swinglet CAM. Parrot, on the other hand, has made its name with its consumer quadcopters. So, now that ...

For years, ultrasonic sensors have been used in a wide range of applications including fish finders, parking sensors in cars and burglar alarms. In this article, we describe the characteristics of ...

Time-of-flight (ToF) sensors open up new application areas and use cases for proximity sensing and presence detection technologies, and these sensors can add valuable functionalities and intelligence ...
