These days, we are looking to size down all our projects, in order to make them fit just about anywhere, and the manufacturers keep on delivering when it comes to smaller, feature-packed components. An example of that evolution is the Renesas / IDT new OB1203 sensor modules, that integrate 4 different sensors in a very compact […]

Introduction For our final project, we created a spy robot: a robot that uses remote radar sensing to detect intruders. The physical system consisted of the servo setup we had from lab 4, a time-of-flight distance sensor (discussed in depth below), and the PIC32 microcontroller. The distance sensor was affixed to the servo setup and

A new microwave radiation sensor with the sensitivity of up to 1 single photon, has been developed by research funded by the US Army and various pristine universities. This sensor is a microwave bolometer that can improve thermal imaging, radio communications, and RADAR by 100,000 times. The Army, in part, funded the work to fabricate this bolometer by taking advantage of
