Every robotics project out there, it seems, needs a way to detect if it’s smashing into a wall repeatedly, acting like the brainless automaton it actually is. The Roomba has wall sensors, just about ...

The various ways your PC-screen “privacy” can be compromised. How a sensitive time-of-flight (ToF) transducer can be a critical privacy (and power-saving) building block. The many circumstances for ...

There are a whole bunch of different ways to create 3D scans of objects these days. Researchers at the [UW Graphics Lab] have demonstrated how to use a small, cheap time-of-flight sensor to generate ...

LiDAR, or Light Detection and Ranging, is a great way to provide computers with information about the surrounding environment. It uses time-of-flight, usually with an LED source. The technology is ...

In this video, I'm testing out the VL53L0x Time Of Flight sensor that optically measures distance with some IR laser to see if it will be a good option to use in future versions of my pellet level ...
