  • Adjustable sensors
    Patent number: 11395062
    Abstract: Example implementations relate adjustable sensors. For example, a system comprising a housing, a detector to detect a location of an object in an environment surrounding the housing, an adjustable arm coupled to the housing, and a sensor disposed on the adjustable arm to adjust a distance between the sensor and the location of the object responsive to detection of the location of the object.
