Ultrasonic ToF Material Detection Sensor
19 units available with a short lead time.
This ultrasonic time-of-flight (ToF) material detection sensor identifies surface materials by analysing the difference in ultrasonic echo energy reflected from various surfaces. It can distinguish between hard and soft materials at short range (2–10 cm), outputting results via UART or digital IO (high/low).
Designed for integration into robotic cleaners and automated systems, the sensor enables intelligent floor-type detection so devices can automatically adjust cleaning strategies based on the surface material. Its miniature size (just 1 g) and ultra-low power consumption make it easy to embed in compact devices.
