Micro-Epsilon has extended its range of confocal chromatic distance and thickness measurement sensors with a new High Temperature (HT) series of sensors that withstand operating temperatures up to 200 ...

Abstract: We investigate methods for determining if a planar surface contains geometric deviations (e.g., protrusions, objects, divots, or cliffs) using only an instantaneous measurement from a ...

While track testing during a visit to the Porsche Cars North America headquarters in Atlanta, the instructor invited me to test my manual braking distance against the Cayman’s anti-lock brake system ...

PythoC lets you use Python as a C code generator, but with more features and flexibility than Cython provides. Here’s a first look at the new C code generator for Python. Python and C share more than ...

Engineering teams are generating more code with AI agents than ever before. But they're hitting a wall when that code reaches production. The problem isn't necessarily the AI-generated code itself. It ...

Just about every “getting started with microcontrollers” kit, Arduino or otherwise, includes an ultrasonic distance sensor module. Given the power of microcontrollers these days, it was only a matter ...

Have you ever wondered how a robot navigates a cluttered room or how a drone maintains its altitude with pinpoint accuracy? The secret lies in the tools used to measure distance, an often-overlooked ...

Sometimes, reading Python code just isn’t enough to see what’s really going on. You can stare at lines for hours and still miss how variables change, or why a bug keeps popping up. That’s where a ...

Google Colab, also known as Colaboratory, is a free online tool from Google that lets you write and run Python code directly in your browser. It works like Jupyter Notebook but without the hassle of ...

In this tutorial, we explore how we can seamlessly run MATLAB-style code inside Python by connecting Octave with the oct2py library. We set up the environment on Google Colab, exchange data between ...
