Many robotic applications require a sensor to detect close or very close obstacles. Typically, reflective-type infrared sensors are used for this task. But the circuit in the figure shows an infrared ...

Functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a non-invasive and wearable optical imaging modality that has been used for many applications to monitor hemodynamic response in the clinical setting ...

The primary goal of this thesis was to create a low-cost Arduino-based fNIRS system and its use in a variety of clinical settings. While this system was used for several clinical applications, in this ...

Near-infrared (NIR) photon detection and object recognition are crucial technologies for all-weather target identification. Conventional NIR detection systems that rely on photodetectors and von ...

Barcodes and QR codes feel like they’re everywhere nowadays, but they don’t have to be. Scientists at MIT have developed an invisible tagging system called BrightMarker, which embeds fluorescent tags ...

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine will establish an ad-hoc committee to investigate and make recommendations about a space-based telescope's capabilities regarding the ...

If you have a few hours spare and fancy creating a new Arduino project in your spare time you might be interested in this fun Arduino infrared touchscreen music controller which has been created by ...
