A new laser range-finding technique, inspired by quantum physics, that can measure distances under strong solar background has been demonstrated by researchers at the University of Bristol. The team ...

Japan has deployed a system that fires laser beams with 100 kilowatts of energy — powerful enough to disable small drones. It was installed on board a 6,200-ton (6.3 million kg) warship. The weapon ...

Just about every “getting started with microcontrollers” kit, Arduino or otherwise, includes an ultrasonic distance sensor module. Given the power of microcontrollers these days, it was only a matter ...

Have you ever wondered how a robot navigates a cluttered room or how a drone maintains its altitude with pinpoint accuracy? The secret lies in the tools used to measure distance, an often-overlooked ...

German defense electronics company Rohde & Schwarz is teaming up with manufacturing equipment provider Trumpf to target the growing counter-drone laser weapon market. Munich-based Rohde & Schwarz ...

MORPHO (Manufacturing, Overhaul, Repair for Prognosis Health Overreach) was a Horizon 2020 funded research project (September 2021 – January 2025) that aimed to optimize the manufacturing and life ...
