Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have been able to teach robots to pick up transparent or reflective objects. This has been a challenge for robots in the past, and the way researchers have ...

Carrollton, Tex. — TT electronics OPTEK Technology has developed a reflective object sensor for detection of diffuse materials. The OPB609 series devices with three different lead options consists of ...

Providing medical electronics design engineers with a reflective device capable of an enhanced sensing range in space-constrained applications, TT electronics OPTEK Technology’s OPB733TR reflective ...

(Nanowerk News) Kitchen robots are a popular vision of the future, but if a robot of today tries to grasp a kitchen staple such as a clear measuring cup or a shiny knife, it likely won't be able to.

Who doesn't love shiny things? Well... robots for one. The same goes for transparent objects. At least, that's long been the case. Machine vision has stumbled when it comes to shiny or reflective ...

An 880-nm AlGaAs infrared emitter (IRED) and a NPN open-collector photo device (photo-IC) are mounted on a custom, four-leaded TO-72 header to make up the CL1700 Reflective Object Sensor. The IRED ...
