Every time a smartphone snaps a photo, millions of tiny light detectors capture the scene and then ferry all that raw data across the chip to a separate processor for storage and number-crunching.

Robots are now capable of seeing and moving, but touch remains a major challenge ...

The project can be used effectively to detect fast moving objects using sensors made from LED array. One of the slave microcontrollers (Slave A) is the PIC16F876A which autonomously scans the bottom ...

A pioneer in digital imaging, Sony announced its first stacked CMOS sensors for full-frame cameras back in April 2017 on the flagship Sony A9 camera. A stacked CMOS sensor captures significantly more ...

Researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology are creating a novel sensor system based on the superior design and detection range found on harbor seal whiskers. Xudong Zheng, an associate professor ...

Researchers have developed a sensor array design technology inspired by the human auditory system. By mimicking the human ear's ability to distinguish sounds through tonotopy, this innovative sensor ...

ON Semiconductor has claimed the industry’s first automotive-qualified silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) array for LiDAR applications. The RDM-Series SiPM array is based on the company’s RDM process, ...

And while such sensors are often impractically fragile, Harvard University scientists have created a new one that can really take a beating. At the heart of the prototype device is an array of ...

Electro-optical detectors are used to measure or sense the radiation emitted or reflected by objects within the detector’s optical field of view (FOV). Passive systems operate without any illumination ...

A team of researchers from Argonne National Laboratory, the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, has devised a pathway for ...
