TDK Corp. has announced distribution availability of its second-generation InvenSense SmartSonic ICU-10201 ultrasonic time-of-flight (ToF) sensor for IoT and robotics applications. With improved ...

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 ...

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 ...

As robots increasingly enter human spaces, robotics companies will need to think about safety differently than they did when robots were largely siloed from their human counterparts. Sonair thinks its ...

Human-robot interaction (HRI), precise control, and safe collaboration between humans and robots are the cornerstones of adopting automation. Safety refers to multiple tasks in the context of robots, ...

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 ...
