3D Ultrasonic Echolocation
Detect multiple object positions in three-dimensional space in real-time with the worlds-first and only 3D ultrasonic echolocation technology.
How does it work?
- The transducer sends out an ultrasonic pulse
- A pulse is reflected by surrounding objects
- The reflected pulse is received by an array of microphones on the sensor
- Positions of the echoes are calculated as 3D coordinates, based on the different times when echoes arrive at the individual microphones
- 3D coordinates are outputted at the end of each measurement cycle
Locate multiple object position in 3D space
Robust to lighting conditions, dust and dirt
Detects transparent and complex objects
Applicable in a wide variety of industries
Time-of-Flight explained
1. Ultrasonic Pulse
3D Echolocation Sensor sends out an ultrasonic pulse
2. Reflected Echo
Pulse is reflected by surrounding objects and received by the sensors microphones
3. 3D Echo Point Cloud
Based on echo ToF data, the origins of the echoes are calculated as 3D coordinates

Cost-efficient and suitable for many industries
For the future of robotic, automotive, and industrial markets, there is a need for reliable, robust, and cost-efficient solutions. Whether you want your robot to avoid collisions or you want to avoid scratching your rims on curbstones.
Our 3D Ultrasonic Echolocation sensor will help you to solve these tasks.
The sensor works by combining the time-of-flight principle of conventional ultrasonic sensors with triangulation and advanced signal processing algorithms.
