On the basis of industrial development, ToF sensors can be applied to intelligent automation applications: ToF sensors are supplement to other sensors in industrial robots or self-driving cars in factories or warehouses. Industrial robots with ToF sensors for target detection and motion prediction can fully perceive the environment, thereby minimizing the risk of collisions with moving or static objects.
The application of tof sensor other than the industrial or automotive field is the monitoring of office occupancy. Its main function is usually safety, such as supporting appropriate evacuation procedures in the event of a fire. At the same time, occupancy monitoring can also optimize lighting and heating to save energy and reduce costs. After large-scale application, it can also be used for smart city applications.
The automation functions supported by the ToF sensor can also be used for home automation-object detection, facial recognition, and distance measurement, etc., in smart home products such as automatic vacuum cleaners, robotic lawn mowers, and automatic pet entry.
