Abstract:
A contactless position and/or distance sensor for determining the distance, the spatial orientation, the material properties, or the like of a target object, and a method for operating the same, uses at least two sensor elements, which form a sensor module, Signals provided by the at least two sensor elements are jointly evaluated using at least one artificial neural network.
