The first sensor a robot usually gets fitted with is an obstacle detector. It may take three different forms, depending on the type of obstacle you want to detect and also — indeed, above all — on the ...

A new category of sensing technology transforms mobile robot vision from 2D to 3D, improves safety performance and provides 50-80% cost savings compared to traditional, LiDAR-based systems and sensor ...

Sonair’s 3D ultrasonic sensor uses acoustic detection and ranging (ADAR) to enable 360° obstacle detection up to 5 meters. Each ADAR sensor offers a 180×180° field of view, allowing autonomous mobile ...

Ultrasonics refers to signals that are above the human hearing span (>20 kHz), and usually in the 40- to 70-kHz range. These signals are used like radar—they’re radiated toward a target and reflected ...
