Introduction
Working on "Design and Control of Smart Material based Actuators for Robotic Assembly" in the field of smart actuators and micro robotics. Prior to this I have been working at CSIR-CMERI as a researcher in the same field. Since last few years, I have been associated with several project activities mostly involving smart materials, EAPs, IPMCs, sensor networking, mobile robotics, Surveillance etc. My most recent activity is on smart sensing & watering of plants and smart irrigation with the incorporation of IoT.

Question
While measuring the distance of an obstacle using VL53L1X ( https://www.st.com/en/imaging-and-photonics-solutions/vl53l1x.html ) the result is fluctuating. This was tested with the breakout board ( https://www.st.com/en/evaluation-tools/vl53l1x-satel.html ).
Example of the test conducted:
We have set the fixed obstacle at a distance of 140 mm from the sensing unit.
Case 1:
Setting:
Ranging: Autonomous ,
Distance Mode: Short ,
Timing Budget: 50ms ,
Inter measurement period: 50ms.
Result: Varies in the range 138-144 mm
Case 2:
Setting:
Ranging: Autonomous ,
Distance Mode: Short ,
Timing Budget: 500ms ,
Inter measurement period: 50ms.
Result: Varies in the range 139-141 mm
Why the variation is observed for the tightly fixed obstacle (non varying distance) in these kind of sensors? What is the physics behind it (measurement fluctuation reason)? Please help me with the technical explanation.
With regards,
Bhaskar Ghosh
Question
Good evening all,
I have started working with pneumatic muscles very recently. I do not have much knowledge in this area for which I need your expert opinion and guidance. Please suggest me the way out to start from the beginning towards controlling the actuation and developing the mathematical model of the actuator.
With regards,
Bhaskar Ghosh
Question
Thanks for your time for me. My query is on finding out the (X,Y) coordinate of an IMU (Using 6050 MPU) mounted object (Without any GPS).
While performing the task we are getting fluctuating acceleration data how can we resolve it?
It will also be very helpful if you suggest any other MPU for better performance.
Thank you
With regards,
Bhaskar
