Sweep is a low-cost 360 degree scanning laser sensor capable of delivering advanced sensing capabilities for a retail price of only US $249. The sensor is also compact and lightweight making it an ideal candidate for almost any type of … Read more →
A tilt sensor is used in robotics to measure tilt angle with ground plane reference. This type of sensors are used in industry, service robots, and others fields like smartphones, games, or aircrafts. Even a robot uses legs or wheels … Read more →
As a continuation of our discussion about robotic sensors today we will talk about robotic laser rangefinder sensors, which are one of the most accurate type of distance measuring sensors, with reading errors not exceeding a few millimeters. These sensors … Read more →
Robots have been around long enough for a rich research environment to be created where Sci-Fi movies have become reality. The human body is one of the main instruments of inspiration for researchers, and the human senses have become a … Read more →
Looking for a new address where you want to travel on a huge touchscreen with internet connection, sit more comfortably in the seat that can be adjusted in infinite positions and press the start button – a futuristic scenario which … Read more →
Robots can employ many types of sensors with very different operating principles and features to acquire data from the environment. In this article we focus on reviewing sensors which operate by detecting infrared radiation in one form or another. Infrared … Read more →
Light sensors are very common in robotics especially for navigation and object detection by measuring the amount of reflected light. Used with one purpose – to detect the light – they are very easy to install and are also inexpensive. … Read more →
