Researchers have created a device that uses photonic radar to remotely and accurately monitor breathing, even distinguishing between more than one patient. They say their device might one day be used in hospitals, aged care facilities and at home to pr… Continue reading Photonic radar can remotely monitor breathing without privacy concerns
Taking 3D images underwater is tricky due to inconsistent lighting conditions and particles in the water that scatter light and cause distortion. Researchers have created a novel prototype system that uses quantum technology and LiDAR to overcome these… Continue reading Quantum tech hurdles problems of taking real-time 3D images underwater
A research team from the UK’s Nottingham Trent University, the Australian National University and the University of New South Wales Canberra has developed a proof-of-concept display technology that could replace the LCD panels common to many of today’s… Continue reading Meta-display concept could retire LCD panels in big-screen TVs
What do you do when you have a lot of LiDAR data and not enough budget to slog through it? That’s the problem the Heritage Quest project was faced with …read more Continue reading Citizen Science Finds Prehistoric Burial Mounds
Remember that “PhoneDrone” scam from a while back? With two tiny motors and props that could barely lift a microdrone, it was pretty clearly a fake, but that doesn’t mean …read more Continue reading Bicopter Phone Case Might Be Hard to Pocket, but Delivers Autonomous Selfies
Humans manage to drive in an acceptable fashion using just two eyes and two ears to sense the world around them. Autonomous vehicles are kitted out with sensor packages altogether …read more Continue reading Spoofing LIDAR Could Blind Autonomous Vehicles to Obstacles
Researchers in South Korea have developed an ultra-small, ultra-thin LiDAR device that splits a single laser beam into 10,000 points covering an unprecedented 180-degree field of view. It’s capable of 3D depth-mapping an entire hemisphere of vision in … Continue reading Tiny solid-state LiDAR device can 3D-map a full 180-degree field of view
Despite how it might appear in bad action movies, throwing a knife and making it stick in a target is no easy feat. Taking inspiration from the aforementioned movies, [Quint] …read more Continue reading Knife Throwing Machine Gets the Spin Just Right
The inconvenience of having to walk to your mailbox to check for mail has inspired many hackers to install automated systems that let them know when the mail has been …read more Continue reading Using a LIDAR Sensor to Monitor Your Mailbox
Mapping the inside of cramped, difficult-to-reach areas can be helpful to people such as plant operators, but drones flown in such places could easily crash. The LiDAR- and cage-equipped Elios 3 quadcopter was designed with that challenge in mind.Conti… Continue reading Latest version of Elios caged drone gets LiDAR for 3D mapping
