Detecting and identifying floating or submerged objects in the ocean is very challenging with the current state of the art maritime-LIDAR technology. A LIDAR sensor has limitations in detecting ...

Autonomous vehicles, often known as self-driving cars, have emerged as a disruptive technology with the promise of safer, more efficient, and convenient transportation. The existing works provide ...

A new category of sensing technology transforms mobile robot vision from 2D to 3D, improves safety performance and provides 50-80% cost savings compared to traditional, LiDAR-based systems and sensor ...

At the heart of every camera is a sensor, whether that sensor is a collection of light-detecting pixels or a strip of 35-millimeter film. But what happens when you want to take a picture of something ...

Enough landmines are buried underground worldwide to circle Earth twice at the equator, but the identification and removal of these explosives is costly and time-consuming. New research could help ...

Researchers have developed a sensor about the size of a grain of rice that can measure forces and twisting motions in all directions using light instead of traditional electronics. The new sensor ...
