The GY-53 VL53L0X is a time-of-flight (ToF) laser range sensor that uses a laser to measure distance. It can measure distances up to 2 meters with a resolution of 1 mm. The sensor is often used in applications such as obstacle avoidance, gesture recognition, and 3D scanning.

The GY-53 module you mentioned likely contains the VL53L0X sensor and some additional circuitry for interfacing with a microcontroller or other device.

Also check the VL53L0X Laser Ranging Sensor from ST Microelectronics. It is a time-of-flight ranging system integrated into a compact module, capable of accurately determining the absolute distance to a target without being significantly influenced by the object’s reflectance.
