    摘要: A range sensor includes a light source, a light receiver, a controller, and a range information generator. The light source repeatedly emits illumination light onto a target. The light receiver receives light from the start of a time period during which the illumination light is emitted. The controller controls the light source and the light receiver so that each of the amounts of light received by the light receiver is cumulated in synchronization with emission of the illumination light. The range information generator generates range information indicating the range to the target based on the cumulative amounts of received light. The controller changes the cumulative number that is the number of cumulating operations in which the light receiver cumulates each of the amounts of received light, in accordance with the magnitudes of the cumulative amounts of received light.
