Optical distance sensors are the culmination of decades of research and development (R&D) in the field of optoelectronics. This subset of photonics is concerned with the application of electronic devices that detect, emit, and modulate light to accomplish an extremely diverse range of functi…
A new API update to the OPS243 radar sensor enables a power savings hibernate mode. It provides the ability to bring average power consumption down under 200mW. At this low level, the radar sensor can be combined with a battery to provide remote detection where power is not available…
This tutorial explains in an easy and intuitive way to help you understand the theory, design and implementation to make your own generator and sensor for a perimeter wire. The files (Schematics, Eagle Files, Gerbers, 3D Files and Arduino Sample Code) are also available for download. This way, y…
Simple setup enables a 2D radar to trigger a camera to capture an image of an approaching object (animal, person, vehicle).
FMCW radar reports distances to multiple objects over a wide field of view.

Call For Reviewers Let's Make Robots and RobotShop would like to invite you to participate in our "Call for reviewers" on Let´s Make Robots (LMR). Reviews are great for both manufacturers and LMR members, so both can share expertise and parts. What do they gain? Manufacturers: they gai
The ReRo Robot is a robot construction kit that features easy to use hardware design and programming tool. ReRo stands for reconfigurable robot and it's designed to target younger generations and people with lesser technical skills. Eliminating the tiny screws and nuts was Cyton's main task to make…
As you may already know, RobotShop offers all Lynxmotion robotic arms & grippers on our online catalog, which are based on the modular servo erector set. So, while you may already have decided that you would like to use a Lynxmotion robotic arm, you may not be sure which kit would …
Robot Construction Kits can be distinguished from normal robot kits since they use modular parts and allow you to assemble different robots using the same parts. A robot kit on the other hand only allows you to build one robot. Robot construction kits are a great investment because they tend to inc…
Some of you may have hear about Scout -- The Autonomous Transatlantic Robot. She is a 12-foot long robotic solar-powered boat designed and built by 7 college/university students from the USA. She was launched in August 2013 from Rhode Island and programmed to autonomously cross the Atlantic Ocean…
