Cool robot sensor technology
Not new but a new use for an old tech:
Thereminvision
It was developed by the crew of
Team Titanium and utilizes the field sensing technologies of Leon Theremin's 1918 Electronic Musical Instrument the
Thereminovox commonly shortened to the Theremin. They are still very much in use these days -- I have one made by Bob Moog -- a lot of fun to play.
Anyway, this sensing technology uses four tiny Theremins on a platform to sense the location and distance of near objects. Very cool idea and it has been released to the public domain.
