A lighthouse beams light out to make itself and its shoreline visible. [Daniel’s] lighthouse has the opposite function, using lasers to map out the area around itself. Using an Arduino and a ToF sensor, the concept is relatively simple. However, connecting to something that rotates 360 degrees is always a …read more
There are millions of IoT devices out there in the wild and though not conventional computers, they can be hacked by alternative methods. From firmware hacks to social engineering, there are tons of ways to break into these little devices. Now, researchers at University of Maryland have published a new …read more
The leap to self-driving cars could be as game-changing as the one from horse power to engine power. If cars prove able to drive themselves better than humans do, the safety gains could be enormous: auto accidents were the #8 cause of death worldwide in 2016. And who doesn’t want …read more

Ingenious researchers were able to use data collected by a robot vacuum’s LiDAR navigation sensors to record audio signals.
Read more in my article on the Bitdefender BOX blog. Continue reading Robot vacuum cleaners can eavesdrop on your conversations, researchers reveal
Researchers have unveiled an attack that allows attackers to eavesdrop on homeowners inside their homes, through the LiDAR sensors on their robot vacuums. Continue reading Robot Vacuums Suck Up Sensitive Audio in ‘LidarPhone’ Hack
Self-driving cars typically use both LiDAR and radar to detect obstacles on the road ahead, yet neither system is adept at identifying vehicles through fog. Now, though, engineers have discovered that radar is good at the task if it’s “doubled up.”Cont… Continue reading Dual-radar tech could help self-driving cars see through fog
Homes in different parts of the world used to look different from each other out of necessity, built to optimize for the challenges and benefits of local climate. When residential climate control systems became commonplace that changed. Where a home in tropical south Florida once required very different building methods …read more

[Stevej52] likes to build things you can’t buy, and this Jetson Nano robot falls well within that category. Reading the project details, you might think [Stevej52] drinks too much coffee. But we think he is just excited to have successfully pulled off the Herculean task of integrating over a dozen …read more
There are now several robots that are designed to accompany and assist ground-based army troops. Those machines could soon have a new ability – detecting changes in the environment that may be missed by soldiers.Continue ReadingCategory: Robotics, Tech… Continue reading LiDAR tech lets robots spot what soldiers may miss
Decades ago, Arthur C. Clarke envisioned an “underwater telescope” that would allow users to look down from the surface of the ocean, into its inky depths. Well, such a capability has come a step closer to reality, utilizing existing technology.Continu… Continue reading Scientists use LiDAR to see deeper into the ocean
