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 ...

A new EU project plans to expand adventures in the cosmos with a suitably space-age technology: lasers. The INPHOMIR initiative is developing the lasers to enhance spacecraft sensors. By emitting tiny ...

This could be a tricky call, as the jet-powered drone is required to be capable of launching without the use of a catapult to ...

The UK is investing in a new sensor technology intended to protect satellites from laser threats and able to distinguish between benign and hostile lasers, a ...

UCC is part of a consortium that aims to boost various autonomous systems with laser sensors that can measure distances accurately and use less energy. European researchers are working on new laser ...

Mark Zondlo, an associate professor of civil and environmental engineering at Princeton University and its Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment, develops tools to measure air pollution in ...

The profile sensors project a laser line transversely onto the wheel surface, which is located transversely to the direction of the track. A high quality optical system concentrates the diffuse ...

Research scientist and entrepreneur Sverre Dokken believes laser-based remote sensing has big potential in the maritime domain. But what is LADAR, who’s it for and what are the key benefits? “Our ...

Earthquake damaged buildings, bridges and other critical infrastructure may be evaluated more quickly for safety and response options following an event with new optical sensor technology and software ...

[Neumi] wrote in with a sweet robotics hack. It’s a 2D laser distance sensor (YouTube) made with a cheap line laser and an optical mouse’s flow-sensor chip used as a low-resolution camera. In one ...

The phrase ‘laser-induced damage’ encompasses a range of deleterious effects occurring in imaging sensors when they are exposed to high-intensity laser radiation. Advances in laser technology, ...
