Capacitive proximity sensing in smart environments [PDF]
Journal of Ambient Intelligence and Smart Environments, 2015 To create applications for smart environments we can select from a huge variety of sensors that measure environmental parameters or detect activities of different actors within the premises. Capacitive proximity sensors use weak electric fields to recognize conductive objects, such as the human body.

Impact handling by proximity and force sensing
Proceedings 1992 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2003A sensor-based robot control technique for handling non-contact/transitions in a partially unknown environment is presented. Desired contacts with the environment were handled by integrating proximity and force/torque sensing information to improve efficiency in terms of speed and safety.

Identification of Small Animals by Proximity Sensing
Science, 1961Individual deer mice are identified by magnetic proximity sensing. Approach of an animal wearing a small ferromagnetic collar unbalances an excited inductance bridge which triggers recording circuitry. In conjunction with conductance proximity sensing, the techniques can identify four individuals.

Proximation: Location-Awareness Though Sensed Proximity and GSM Estimation
2005The realisation of ubiquitous in- and out-door location awareness needs the exploration of scaleable hybrid solutions that can utilize existing infrastructures in novel and complimentary ways. Our hybrid solution (BlueStar) incorporates mobile terminals (GSM smart phones) with a two-phase approach to location awareness, using existing infrastructure ...

User privacy attitudes regarding proximity sensing
Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security, 2018User attitudes on privacy with respect to location data has been extensively studied. However, user attitudes of privacy in relation to proximity sensing is still lacking. We present the results from a survey conducted on users of a proximity sensing application we developed and diffused by handing out phones with the proximity sensing application pre ...

Using proximity sensing in robot leg control
Proceedings. 1986 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 1986Using a proximity ranging system to step over objects has been tested by using two sensors mounted on a Prototype Leg for the Adaptive Suspension Vehicle which is under development at the Ohio State University. The results show that the control algorithm provides the capability to step over many different types of objects at speeds of up to 100 in ...

Autonomous field mapping and operation with proximity sensing
2015 IEEE/SICE International Symposium on System Integration (SII), 2015This paper describes a method of autonomous field mapping and operation with proximity sensing. Localization and mapping are important functions for mobile robots to enhance the efficiency of operations in the work field. Conventionally, the GPS-based localization and LRF-based localization are popular for mobile robots working outdoor and indoor ...

A vector light detector for proximity sensing applications
2016 IEEE SENSORS, 2016In this paper, we propose a novel design for a three dimensional proximity sensor. The novel design takes advantage of rapid prototyping capabilities offered by 3D printing to produce mesa pyramids with a 55 ° base angle that comprise a two-pixel system.

A sense of closeness: protein detection by proximity ligation
Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2003Highly specific and sensitive procedures will be required to evaluate proteomes. Proximity ligation is a recently introduced mechanism for protein analysis. In this technique, the convergence of sets of protein-binding reagents on individual target molecules juxtaposes attached nucleic acid sequences. Through a ligation reaction a DNA reporter sequence
