The latest creation from Bengali roboticist [nabilphysics] might sound familiar. His laser-augmented glove gives users the ability to detect objects horizontally in front of them, much like a cane or ...

This homemade parking sensor was developed using an Arduino, ultrasonic range finder and some other components to guide vehicle parking. One of the main materials used is the Arduino duemilanove which ...

If you live in a relatively dry climate, you probably don't worry about underwater hazards during the flood season. If you attend Tsukuba University, Japan however -- just miles from where the ...

Two Japanese PhD candidates, Aisen Carolina Chacin and Takeshi Ozu, from the Tsukuba University have recently developed a 3D-printed sonar glove that can detect underwater items. The haptic sonar ...

A pair of Ph.D. candidates in Japan have developed a glove that lets wearers "feel" distant objects underwater, even without making physical contact. Dubbed "IrukaTact," the glove uses a combination ...

This electronic glove uses sonar technology to let the wearer "feel" things underwater that he or she is not physically touching. When it detects an object in range, the glove—developed by a pair of ...

The HC-SR04 sonar modules are available for a mere pittance and, with some coaxing, can do a pretty decent job of helping your robot measure the distance to the nearest wall. But when sellers on eBay ...

A pair of Ph.D. candidates from Japan's Tsukuba University have created a special glove that allows the wearer to "feel" objects underwater without actually making contact with them. The gloves, known ...
