ToF (Time-of-Flight) Sensors

Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors measure distances by emitting a light signal, usually infrared, and then timing how long it takes for the light to reflect back from an object. By calculating this travel time, the sensor determines how far away objects are with high accuracy. ToF sensors are used in various applications like smartphones for facial recognition, robotics for navigation, and automotive safety systems to detect nearby obstacles. They provide quick, precise 3D mapping of the environment by continuously measuring the time it takes for light to bounce back from different surfaces.
