Distance and Motion Sensor Developed by the SUCCESS Research Consortium /
Radio-frequency Technology in a Chip Housing Facilitates Integration into
Electronics Devices
Today’s
parking assistant systems enable drivers to safely park their cars even in the
narrowest of gaps. Such sophisticated parking aids, and also manufacturing
robots which, to move about in unknown environments, require millimeter
precision control, rely on precise all-around radar distance measurement.
Together with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the SUCCESS
Consortium now has succeeded in integrating the necessary radar technology into
millimeter-sized chip housings.
