Have you ever wondered how a robot navigates a cluttered room or how a drone maintains its altitude with pinpoint accuracy? The secret lies in the tools used to measure distance, an often-overlooked ...

Today’s anti-fall technology has come a long way from ‘I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!’ Here’s how it works. By Joyce Cohen Kathy Doyle fell on the street in Manhattan several times over the years.

Ultrasonic sensors measure the distance between a target and the sensor using high-frequency sound waves that are inaudible to humans. The process is simple: the sensor emits ultrasonic waves, which ...

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 ...

Arduino is being acquired by Qualcomm subject to regulatory approval for an undisclosed sum. Qualcomm Arduino introduces a new UNO form factor board, the Arduino UNO Q, which features both a STM32 MCU ...

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 ...

The Google Pixel 10 may look nearly identical to last year’s Pixel 9, but it’s packing meaningful upgrades under the hood. Google is enhancing its ultrasonic fingerprint sensor to be even faster and ...

RPS-429AA-40P-IS2 intrinsically safe (IS), ultrasonic sensor achieves precise accuracy in distance measurement and object detection applications. With ATEX, IECEx and C-UL-US certifications, this ...

Studies have shown that many people don't commute by bike due mainly to a fear of being hit by cars. A new bike-mounted proximity sensor has been designed to help such folks, by objectively telling ...

Sonair, a sensor technology company in Oslo, Norway, is set to debut its ADAR (Acoustic Detection and Ranging) sensor to North American audiences at Automate 2025 next week in Detroit. Designed to ...

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 ...
