ams OSRAM is expanding its portfolio of dToF modules with three new devices for multi-zone and multi-object detection with a wider field-of-view (FoV) and extended range.
dToF sensors are a critical technology, used in a wide range of industrial and home or business automation applications. Industrial and in-home robots require sophisticated systems to detect their environment to ensure they are operating in a safe manner.
The multi-zone dToF modules TMF8820, TMF8821 and TMF8828 from ams OSRAM divide their detection area into multiple zones to collect more and higher quality information. As a result, automated robots gain more "sensory awareness", enabling early detection of potential obstacles. System manufacturers also benefit from the compact design and ease of integration of the new modules (more info).
