Time-of-flight (ToF) sensor is a small and lightweight sensor that measures depth and distance by using the time-of-flight principle. It helps calculate distances using the time taken by photons to travel from the emitter of a sensor to the target and then back to the receiver. It offers insights into key business metrics, including periodic occupancy counting to space optimization. Besides this, it is a reliable and cost-effective technology that provides a more extended range, precise and faster readings, and better safety and accuracy than other distance sensors. As a result, the TOF sensor finds extensive applications in robot navigation, 3D mapping, industrial automation, vehicle monitoring, and object detection.
