- Hi all,
- I am working on a set of sensors for a robot. I am thinking of using
- a laser diode emitter and an array of detectors. I've read
- about such a setup where the emitter/detectors are built into one
- device with each in separate chambers. The emitter gives off a beam and
- is reflected of the target back to the detector array through a narrow slit.
- Depending on which element of the array the reflected beam hits, the target's
- distance from the source can be calculated using triangulation.
-
- But neither my advisor nor i know of a company that produces such a device.
- If you know of such a device out in the market, we would really appreciated
- if you drop us a line.
-
- Please reply thru email as i dont want to lose any responses that might
- get accidentally lost as i glanced thru the subject lines.
