[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
When we think about machine learning, our minds often jump to datacenters full of sweating, overheating GPUs. However, lighter-weight hardware can also be used to these ends, as demonstrated by …read more Continue reading Machine Learning Robot Runs Arduino Uno
Even though it may seem like we have already explored every single square centimeter of the Earth, there are still many areas that are practically unmapped. These areas include the …read more Continue reading Exploring Tropical Rainforest Stratification Using Space-Based LiDAR
