Researchers have developed a highly sensitive method for detecting hotspots in the environment, such as bushfires or military ...

A thin organic infrared photodiode uses polaritons for stable, narrowband detection, enabling low-power sensors for medical, ...

Infrared sensors, which act as the "seeing" component in devices such as LiDAR for autonomous vehicles, 3D face recognition ...

I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...

Developed as an alternative to passive infrared (PIR) sensors, STMicroelectronics has launched its ultra-low-power STHS34PF80 IR sensor for human-presence and motion detection in alarm and security ...

Researchers at Northeastern University have developed a next generation smart sensor for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) that is capable of identifying infrared (IR) wavelengths ...

Anduril's new Iris AI-enabled EO/IR sensor riding atop the skin of an unidentified tactical fighter platform. The fighter was likely manned but the company says Iris is primarily intended for unmanned ...

It is critically important for instrument users to understand what the sensors in their instrument cannot properly measure, as well as what they can. Non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensors are ...

U.S. Army Oshkosh PLS A1 resupply vehicles already have experimented with Autonomy Kits for large convoy resupply as part of the Expedient Leader Follower (ExLF) program Unmanned vehicles are expected ...

In this article, we implement a rain and ice sensor by analyzing the reflection of an infrared (IR) light source. This project uses proven techniques based on multiple reflections of IR light in the ...

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 imagine ...
