IDTechEx Research Article: Robots, by definition, are machines with autonomy. Over the past several years, robots have gained significant momentum in a variety of industries, such as logistics and ...

The market segment is expected to gain traction with more industries increasingly employing robot proximity sensors to applications such as material handling or in assembly line processes.

In order for robots to operate safely around humans, they need to see that people are approaching and they need to know when ...

Make a safe robot involves sensors to detect problems before they become critical. One reasons robots can interact more closely with people is because of the improvements in sensors ...

Our reference robot is equipped with nine infrared sensors—the newer model has eight infrared and five ultrasonic proximity sensors—arranged in a “skirt” in every direction.

Possible applications for the IR Detector proximity sensor include: – Reflective sensor for hand dryers, soap dispensers, water faucets, and toilet flush valves.

Research in Japan shows the way toward tactile and proximity sensing in large soft robots Researchers developed an innovative robotic link with multimodal perception to help make human-robot ...

We’ve previously looked at the Sharp GP2Y0D02 digital proximity sensor. It only signals the presence of objects, while the GP2D12 and 2Y0A02 measure distance to them.
