Sonair’s 3D Ultrasonic Sensor Puts Robotic Safety First
Sonair Built Its 3D Ultrasonic Sensor With Robotic Safety in Mind Robots are becoming part of everyday life, moving from factories into homes, hospitals, and workplaces. With this shift, safety has never been more important. Sonair built its 3D ultrasonic sensor with robotic safety in mind , aiming to make machines more aware of their surroundings while lowering costs for robotics companies.

The company believes its technology can outperform LIDAR, offering both better reliability and affordability. The Oslo-based startup developed an ADAR (acoustic detection and ranging) sensor that uses high-frequency sound. By emitting ultrasound waves and analyzing their echoes, Sonair gives robots a 3D map of their environment. How the 3D Ultrasonic Sensor Works The technology functions much like human senses. Just as people combine vision and he…
