A pair of automatic doors. An automatic door, also known as an auto door, is a door that opens automatically, without the need for human intervention or usually upon sensing the approach of a person. A person can be detected by microwave pulses, infrared sensors, or pressure-sensing pads. [1]
One of the adjacent photodiodes then receives the optical energy and the sensor responds by sending a signal to the automatic door controller. At that point the door stops, slows or reverses, hence averting a collision and providing safety. Triangulation sensors are found on a number of door brands, and manufactured by several sensor manufacturers.
A door operator may use sensors to prevent the door from coming into contact with a user. Full Energy operators require at least 3 sensors. Low-energy operators are not required to have safety sensors, as the door is allowed to come in contact with a user, given that the kinetic energy of the moving door is limited by the reduced moving speed.
A motion detector attached to an outdoor, automatic light. A motion detector is an electrical device that utilizes a sensor to detect nearby motion (motion detection).Such a device is often integrated as a component of a system that automatically performs a task or alerts a user of motion in an area.

The simplest sensor consists of a light beam aimed across the opening: when the beam is broken by an obstacle, the operator prevents the door from closing. Infrared and radar safety sensors are also commonly used. Other sensors such as resistance-sensing motors can be used to reverse the closing action of the door after an obstacle is encountered.
Hokuyo Automatic Co., Ltd. (Japanese: 北陽電機株式会社) is a global manufacturer of sensor and automation technology headquartered in Osaka, Japan. [1] [2]Hokuyo is known for its 2D and 3D scanning laser range finders for use in AGV, UAV, and mobile robot applications.
Electric eye for a garage door opener. An electric eye is a photodetector used for detecting obstruction of a light beam. An example is the door safety system used on garage door openers that use a light transmitter and receiver at the bottom of the door to prevent closing if there is any obstruction in the way that breaks the light beam.
