Omron Electronic Components has introduced a non-contact MEMS thermal sensor that it claims can detect the presence of humans in an area without the need for movement. The sensor is intended as an ...

STMicroelectronics is launching a human-presence and -motion detector to enhance security systems, home-automation equipment, and IoT devices that typically use passive infrared (PIR) sensing. The ...

Unlike infrared optical sensors that use an LED transmitter and IR receiver, the PIR emits nothing. As its “passive” name suggests, it responds only to infrared energy radiated by the object being ...

From self-driving cars to facial recognition, infrared sensors are all around us and our novel semiconductor research is taking this technology to the next level. Phlux - a Sheffield spinout -has ...

OSAKA, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Panasonic Corporation today announced that it has developed a thermal sensation estimation method * using the infrared array sensor Grid-EYE. Based on the results of ...

Potentially pushing Apple further towards eliminating the notch on iPhones, sensor creator AMS has debuted new technology that can detect ambient light and human proximity from behind an OLED screen.

Researchers at Northeastern University have developed a next generation smart sensor for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) that is capable of identifying infrared (IR) wavelengths ...

Researchers at China’s Tsinghua University’s Shenzhen International Graduate School have developed a next-generation tactile sensor called SuperTac. The project involved collaboration with multiple ...
