As more and more of the technology that we paid for turns becomes a subscription, there’s slowly been a momentum shift in the open source world of building replacements for …read more Continue reading Open Source Vacuum Avoids Cloud
How do you measure the inside of a cave? You could do a bunch of hard work with classic surveying gear… or you could just use a laser scanner. [9nl] …read more Continue reading Laser Scanning A Cave With Homebrew Gear
[Mellow_Labs] picked up a few LiDAR matrix sensors and found them very exciting. While a normal time-of-flight sensor can accurately determine a range, the matrix sensor is like an array …read more Continue reading LiDAR Matrix Sensor Sees in 3D
Students from the ECE4760 program at Cornell have been working on a spatial audio system built into a hat. The project from [Anishka Raina], [Arnav Shah], and [Yoon Kang], enables …read more Continue reading Spatial Audio in a Hat
Although there are plenty of methods for effectively imaging a 3D space, LiDAR is widely regarded as one of the most effective methods. These systems use a rapid succession of …read more Continue reading A Pi-Based LiDAR Scanner
If you need to measure a distance, it is tempting to reach for the ubiquitous ultrasonic module like an HC-SR04. These work well, and they are reasonably easy to use. …read more Continue reading Time-of-Flight Sensors: How Do They Work?
Multiple motors or servos are the norm for drones to achieve controllable flight, but a team from MARS LAB HKU was able to a 360° lidar scanning drone with full …read more Continue reading Single Rotor Drone Spins For 360 Lidar Scanning
Drones, some coloured cardboard, and a piece of tinfoil may be all the kit you need to crash a robot-driven taxi, and a rapper is accused of using Justin Bieber’s name to defraud a TV company.
All this and more is discussed in the latest edition of … Continue reading Smashing Security podcast #375: Crashing robo-taxis, and name-dropping rappers
[tpsully]’s Radar Glasses are designed as a way of sensing the world without the benefits of normal vision. They consist of a distance sensor on the front and a vibration …read more Continue reading ‘Radar’ Glasses Grant Vision-free Distance Sensing
Despite the fact that it constantly seems like we’re in the midst of a robotics- and artificial intelligence-driven revolution, there are a number of tasks that continue to elude even …read more Continue reading FedEx Robot Solves Complex Packing Problems
