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 ...

It uses infrared sensors and a front-facing camera to navigate around your home, and after every cleaning cycle you can go into the iRobot app and look at any obstacle the robot detected and tell ...

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 ...

Some readers may recall building a line-following robot during their school days. Involving some IR LEDs, perhaps a bit of LEGO, and plenty of trial-and-error, it was fun on a tiny scale. Now imagi… ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...
