Although a wide variety of sensors have been enabled by optical technology, one of the more recent advances is the use of Bragg grating sensors in planar silica waveguides to provide in-line ...

Next-generation imaging technology is rapidly expanding beyond smartphones into intelligent devices, robotics, extended ...

Since the later half of the 1990s though, your rodent has been ever significantly more likely to rely upon an optical sensor taking the form of a small CCD camera connected to motion sensing ...

Researchers from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have developed an optical sensor that could help solve this problem. Room thermostats are used in almost every building today to regulate the ...

However, the human eye is a relatively simple optical device with only two elements ... in the same eye by the Hartmann–Shack wavefront sensor. Figure 1b shows a schematic representation ...

Those sensors are finicky and a few problems during testing prompted him to look at a redundant system. Right now he’s experimenting with adding an optical mouse sensor to the autonomous vehicle.
