What types of sensors are used in underwater navigation and exploration? (Part 2 of 2)
Underwater navigation and exploration require special sensors for object detection and imaging. Part 1 of this blog addressed cameras and sonar. LiDAR is also used for underwater applications. Studying the depths and shapes of underwater terrain or bathymetry can be performed by bathymetric LiDAR. The airborne approach to scanning the seafloor uses a green wavelength […]
What types of sensors are used in underwater navigation and exploration? (Part 1 of 2)
Unlike land or airborne vehicles that can use radar and cameras to locate and identify objects underwater navigation and exploration present greater challenges. If underwater visibility is good, cameras provide a good source of information. Increasing resolution and the number of cameras are among the improvements that have been made in the recent past to […]

What’s the secret to increasingly smaller sensors?
Actually, it’s no secret, but microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and integrated circuit technology provide breakthroughs in size and the ability to further decrease size with next-generation designs. The breakthroughs can occur both in the research & development area and in volume production. In the R&D area, CEA-Leti has prototyped a next-generation optical chemical sensor using mid-infrared […]
New reduction factor 1 sensors with IO-Link combine benefits of two technologies
Pepperl+Fuchs has extended its portfolio to include reduction factor 1 sensors with IO-Link, providing users with even more flexibility, additional features, and diagnostic options. Plant designers have long had to use different types of sensors or deal with time-consuming reconfiguration when tasked with detecting objects made of different types of metal. Standard inductive sensors can […]
