The robot determines the relative signal strength from each sensor, and uses that to vary PWM signals to the two DC drive motors to steer the robot platform to seek and follow the infrared beacon.

Here at PCMag, we review a wide range of technology, including robot vacuums. We put these suckers to the test with the same rigor as any laptop, speaker, or TV that enters PC Labs. And, of course, we ...

Something new could soon be watching over drivers and their cars in downtown Silver Spring — and it’s not your typical ...

For less than the cost of a high-end upright cleaner, you get a robot cleaner that deftly handles hard floors, medium-pile ...

HexagonA global technology firm has designed this humanoid robot -AEON, HUMANOID ROBOT: “My name is AEON. I'm a working humanoid from Zurich.”- to address what it says are worker shortages in various ...

Ultrasonic, infrared, and bump sensors: Robot mowers use a combination of these sensors to detect obstructions. The bump sensor is the simplest: the mower taps an obstruction, and sensor data ...

Researchers in Austria are developing new technologies that will enable robotic grippers to sort textiles for recycling more ...

The soft robot is irradiated with infrared light perpendicular to the guide wire. The part of the robot that absorbs the most light contracts. This results in a rolling movement, ...

Uncover the basics of infrared technology, explore different sensor types, and learn about radiometric calibration. Infrared imaging radiometry is the science of using an infrared camera to measure ...

A new way to make large ultrathin infrared sensors that don’t need cryogenic cooling could radically change night vision for the military or even autonomous vehicles. In a study published today ...
