ToF Proximity Sensor

Autonomous High-Speed Swerving Vehicle using the VL53L5CX Sensor Autonomous High-Speed Swerving Vehicle using the VL53L5CX Sensor

The primary objective is to develop a high-speed autonomous vehicle that utilizes a VL53L5CX multizone Lidar sensor to execute fluid, real-time swerving maneuvers instead of traditional "stop-and-turn" movements. By leveraging 8x8 spatial depth mapping, the system maintains continuous forward momentum while proactively navigating around obstacles via a timed S-curve…

Compact Finger Mouse A Compact, Button-Free Wireless Mouse Worn on Your Finger

An innovative maker has designed a fully functional wireless mouse in the form of a ring, offering a unique alternative to traditional mice. Instead of physical buttons, this device utilizes proximity sensors for left and right clicks, enabling a touch-free interaction method. The compact design is achieved using repurposed components from a previous wireless mouse…

Time of Flight Proximity Sensors from STMicroelectronics Time of Flight (ToF) Proximity Sensors for Smart Touchless Human-Machine Interaction and Touchless Solutions

STMicroelectronics has introduced a new generation of high-accuracy proximity and ranging sensors based on FlightSense Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology. The Proximity sensors use simple Infra-Red technology and directly measure distance based on the time for emitted photons to be reflected, enabling accurate distance ranging regardless of the object’s surface…
