Human detection Sensors – DFRobot mmWave
Introduction What is a mmWave radar sensor? Millimeter-wave radar technology is a contactless sensing technology for detecting objects and providing the range, velocity and angle of those objects (in our case humans). mmWave sensors transmit signals with a wavelength in the high frequency spectrum between 24GHz and 300GHz, also called the millimeter (mm) range. Accurate… Continue reading Human detection Sensors – DFRobot mmWave
ArduRover
1.Introduction Rover is a sophisticated open-source firmware, specially designed for autopilots in ground and water vehicles. This firmware supports not only conventional 3 or 4 wheel configurations, but also extends to boats, sailboats, balance bots, and walking robots. This versatile system can run missions autonomously, which can be defined via mission planning software or manually… Continue reading ArduRover
