XenomatiX, a pioneer in true solid-state lidar technology, has announced Siemens as the winner of its lidar contest, which attracted hundreds.
Miniaturised proximity Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors are attractive for robotics applications due to their low cost, compact size, and low power consumption, which makes them suitable for direct distribution on the robot body. However, both the accuracy and the reliability of their measurements are influenced by operating conditions and target properties. These aspects are not fully investigated in the manufacturer’s datasheet, yet they play a crucial role in downstream robotic tasks. To address this gap, we mounted three VL53L5CX sensors, an Ambient Light Sensor, and a thermistor on a robotic manipulator in a controlled laboratory setup and executed a series of experiments to characterise sensor performance. Specifically, experiments were conducted to quantify sensor drift over time, the influence of ambient illumination under three office lighting conditions, within-frame beam variability, depth accuracy over the 20–800 mm range for different materials, orientation sensitivity at different distances, and an empirical signal-to-noise ratio. The results reveal a transient warm-up effect at startup, after which measurements stabilise, a near-linear range-dependent bias with substantially larger uncertainty for dark targets, limited within-frame variability, and an invalid measurement rate consistently below 10%. Overall, the VL53L5CX provides repeatable measurements, and the findings of this work can be leveraged to derive more faithful sensor models, apply range bias correction, and broaden the range of robotic applications.

👉Please meet Dr. techn. Vanessa Staderini – Excellence in Robotics & Computer Vision at AITA milestone at the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology Center for Vision, Automation & Control: Vanessa Staderini is the first woman to successfully complete her PhD at the Center—achieving an outstanding result. Her research bridges computer vision, control engineering, and robotics to enable robust, high-performance industrial visual inspection. ✏️In her doctoral thesis, “Integrated Planning and Optimization Framework for Robotic Visual Inspection”, she developed a model-based framework that generates inspection viewpoints and robot paths directly from CAD and sensor data—maximizing coverage with minimal viewpoints to cut cycle time and enable fast, precise inline inspection with lower resource and energy use.👌This is what Vanessa says: “When I first came to AIT, I was excited, but never imagined this journey would be so fast, rewarding, and fun.” Congratulations, Vanessa! We’re proud to continue this journey together and take the next step forward.Learn more here:Link #AIT #Robotics #ComputerVision #Automation #WomenInSTEM #WOMENinScience #WOMENinTech #DiversityInspiresIdeas
