As domestic uses of robots surpassed the rudimentary, so did their complex innerworkings. Once the subject of Sci-fi backdrop novelty, it seems that domestic sweepers and humanoid Robo-helpers are to be the new reality. Aimed to be part of the smart homes of the future, this solution is ready to be integrated into Smart domestic and cleaner Robotics applications. There is even a waterproof version for operations in water induced environs.
The world, it seems, turns toward making Sci-Fi classics a reality. Smart humanoids are already taking their first steps, as other Smart robotics had taken charge of mundane tasks. There is a feeling that Isaac Asimov’s classic “I, Robot” is right around the corner. As the world enters the Artificial Intelligence (AI) era, every aspect of daily life changes as well. From Cleaner robots, Smart patient care robots, Robot hospital helpers, Humanoid Home robots to Humanoid robots that are able to punch through walls- the Smarter robot revolution is here.
In continuation, the craze did not pass the Israeli market. Several companies are already deep at work in the cleaner, humanoid and zoomorphic robots. In order for the robots to operate as smoothly and precisely as possible, they need the most reliable, durable and pinpoint sensory action. In light of this need, E.D.E. Electronics is proud to present the Ultrasonic sensor array aimed at distance measurement.
Made by acoustics sensor tech virtuoso SOUND COMPONENTS LIMITED, these distance sensors for Smart robots’ implementation offer a wide range of capabilities. Both for surface and water induced environments, as there are open-air and waterproof labelled solutions. For surface applications, these sensors offer minimum sound pressure level values of 113 and 115 respectively.
Not to mention that this sensor provides center frequency level of 40K Hz, with a deviance level of 1K Hz. Additionally, its outstanding capabilities are offered in three main highly compact volumes: 9.8 mm diameter with a 7 mm in height, 12.8 mm diameter with a 9 mm in height and 16.2 mm diameter with a 12.2 mm in height. Thus, these Ultrasonic sensors for Smart robots are designed for floor material recognition and distance detection.
In parallel, the Water-designated sensors for smart robots offer the same center frequency. As well as minimum echo sensitivity of 200 mV. Additionally, these waterproof solutions are able to provide maximum decay time of 1.2 and 1.3 ms respectively. All that with dual Transceiver-Receiver functionality.
These sensors are offered in two main sizes. 14.4 mm in diameter with 9 mm in height and 18 mm in diameter with 12 mm in height. As a result, these waterproof versions are most suited to be implemented underwater scenarios, such as robot pool cleaners or other confined submerged environments.
Not only that, SOUND COMPONENTS LIMITED also offers an OEM solution. an Ultrasonic Rangefinder which measures the time interval between emitting the ultrasonic pulses and receiving the echo. Mainly to determine the distance to nearby objects. It offers small blind zone and short response time. As a result, it is highly suited to be integrated in height measurement and obstacle avoidance systems for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) and Robots.
