  2. Parking sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parking_sensor

    The electromagnetic parking sensor (EPS) was re-invented and patented in 1992 by Mauro Del Signore. [2] Electromagnetic sensors rely on the vehicle moving slowly and smoothly towards the object to be avoided. Once an obstacle is detected, the sensor continues to signal the presence of the obstacle even if the vehicle momentarily stops.

  3. Proximity sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximity_sensor

    A proximity sensor (often simply prox) is a sensor able to detect the presence of nearby objects without any physical contact. A proximity sensor often emits an electromagnetic field or a beam of electromagnetic radiation ( infrared , for instance), and looks for changes in the field or return signal .

  4. Collision avoidance system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_avoidance_system

    It uses a sensor fusion between a camera and the radar sensor. There is an "emergency assist" in case of a non-reacting driver, the car takes control of the brakes and the steering until a complete stop. This is also found in the Volkswagen Golf Mk8.

  5. Robotic sensors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robotic_sensors

    Proximity: Non-contact detection of an object. Sensors can measure physical properties, such as the distance between objects, the presence of light and the frequency of sound. [3] They can measure: Object Proximity: The presence/absence of an object, bearing, color, distance between objects. Physical orientation. The co-ordinates of object in ...

  6. Capacitive sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_sensing

    Many types of sensors use capacitive sensing, including sensors to detect and measure proximity, pressure, position and displacement, force, humidity, fluid level, and acceleration. Human interface devices based on capacitive sensing, such as touchpads, [1] can replace the computer mouse.

  7. Car Tycoon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_Tycoon

    Car Tycoon is a business simulation game that was released on January 5, 2003 by JoWooD Productions under the Fishtank Interactive brand name. It was the first major game by the developer, German studio Vectorcom Development, and sees the player managing a company that develops and manufactures cars.

  8. Proximity card - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximity_card

    A proximity card or prox card [1] also known as a key card or keycard is a contactless smart card which can be read without inserting it into a reader device, as required by earlier magnetic stripe cards such as credit cards and contact type smart cards. [2] The proximity cards are part of the contactless card technologies.

  9. Robotic sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robotic_sensing

    Visual sensors help robots to identify the surrounding environment and take appropriate action. [3] Robots analyze the image of the immediate environment based on data input from the visual sensor. The result is compared to the ideal, intermediate or end image, so that appropriate movement or action can be determined to reach the intermediate ...
