State-of-the-art autonomous vehicles mainly rely on optical sensors to perceive their environment. However, the performance of these sensors worsens dramatically in environments where airborne particles are present. Sonar sensors rely on acoustic waves which are able to pass through these distortion…
Obtaining accurate data about the environment in which a robot is located is a crucial matter when it comes to autonomous navigation and other robotic applications. A popular method of acquiring this information is to use sonar-rings, where a robot is fitted with multiple simple ultrasound transduce…
In this paper we present a flexible low-cost sonar sensor platform that can be used for a wide range of biomimetic sonar experiments and autonomous sonar navigation targeted at robotics applications. The navigation abilities of bats using ultrasound (sonar) in unknown cluttered environments are very…
Many popular advanced sonar systems provide accurate and reliable measurements containing crucial info needed by robotic applications such as range, bearing and reflection strength of the objects in the field of view. While these sensor systems provide these crucial pieces of information accurately,…
