Recently a 128×96 pixel range imager with a pitch of 40 μm and a fill factor of 38 % was presented for 3D range imaging measurements based on the pulse modulated (PM) time-of-flight (ToF) principle. This sensor employs a high-speed photodetector called lateral drift-field photodiode (LDPD). During the characterization insufficiencies in charge transfer were observed for low-light illumination. Her...Show More
Design and measurement results of a CMOS 128 × 96 pixel sensor are presented, which can be used for three-dimensional (3D) scene reconstruction applications based on indirect time-of-flight (ToF) principle enabled by pulse modulated active laser illumination. The 40μm pitch pixels are based on the novel intrinsic lateral drift-field photodiode (LDPD) that allows for a 30ns complete charge transfer...Show More
This paper presents the humanoid robot BARTHOC who has been developed to study human-robot interaction (HRI). The main focus of BARTHOC's design was to realize the expression and behavior of the robot to be as human-like as possible. This allows to apply the platform to manifold research and demonstration areas. With his human-like look and mimic possibilities, he differs from other platforms like...Show More
