The MIT Media Lab has made a roll of sophisticated sensors that's as easy to use as masking tape. Sensor Tape is a programmable sensor network built into a flexible film that can determine its own 3D ...

Laser Proximity Sensors use laser beams to detect the presence or absence of objects within a certain range. They are used in security systems, robotics, automation, and industrial processes, where ...

[mircemk] shows how to create a simple non-contact proximity sensor using little more than an Arduino Nano board, and a convenient software library intended to measure the value of capacitors. The ...
