NSK made an announcement on development of two kinds of sensor technologies targeted for use in human assisting robots. The two sensor technologies are proximity sensor and a real time conical scan sensor. The proximity sensor was developed for obstacle avoidance in human assisting robots, the sensor is capable of detecting the distance and centered position of a target to the front all in real time by utilizing various linearly arranged sensing elements.The elements simply detect obstacle by reflected light of emitting LED light.
The sensor is capable of obtaining information from various sensing elements with minimum amount of wiring. The sensor’s response time is under 1msec. Read more
