Time-of-flight sensors, also known as ToF sensors or ToF cameras, are innovative devices designed to measure the time it takes for light, usually in the form of infrared pulses, to travel from the ...

Every robotics project out there, it seems, needs a way to detect if it’s smashing into a wall repeatedly, acting like the brainless automaton it actually is. The Roomba has wall sensors, just about ...

There are a whole bunch of different ways to create 3D scans of objects these days. Researchers at the [UW Graphics Lab] have demonstrated how to use a small, cheap time-of-flight sensor to generate ...
