Learn how Sonair’s core technology, acoustic detection and ranging (ADAR), is poised to replace traditional sensors like LiDAR, offering superior 3D imaging and highly precise object detection with safety-certifiable hardware.

Q&A with Daniel Hjørnevik from wheel.me, a Norwegian robotics company that has truly reinvented the wheel. The wheel.me team is now testing the Sonair 3D ultrasonic sensor.

Solwr is currently testing Sonair’s 3D ultrasonic sensors on the Grab™ robot in a live warehouse setting.

The other day, on a call with a colleague, he said, ”Wait a second, I have to turn off Tøffe, he’s making too much noise.” I immediately thought Tøffe was the family pet, but thought it was a little bit weird that he had to be ”turned off.”

Read Forbes's in-depth article on how 20 years of foundational ultrasonic research at SINTEF's MiNaLab paved the way for Sonair's breakthrough 3D sensor for autonomous robotics.

Sonair has closed a new funding round, led by Skyfall Ventures, to advance the robotics industry with next-gen sensing technology. The investment introduces a new class of sensors that upgrade mobile robots’ spatial awareness from 2D to 3D, boosting safety, and offering superior performance compared to traditional vision systems.

This is Oscar. He's standing by the river, in front of our offices. His task is to show off the Sonair sensor. But where is it?

Together with exida, we've kicked off the exciting, but no doubt arduous process of obtaining SIL2/Pl d safety certification for the Sonair 3D ultrasonic sensor.

We were sitting at an outdoor restaurant in Tempe, Arizona, enjoying the warm evening air. Across the street, a small, cooler-shaped delivery robot was trying to navigate its way across the busy road. It would start, stop, turn back, and hesitate again as cars and pedestrians passed by.

This is Vilde, Kristian, Johannes, and Anniken. What are they doing with all this gear? And why is Ronja, our house dog, posing with them?

That was almost how we started our acceptance speech when Sonair was awarded the Best of Sensors Award 2024!

We are pleased to announce that Shermine Gotfredsen has joined Sonair as our new Chief Commercial Officer. With extensive experience in the global robotics industry, Shermine brings a sophisticated understanding of market dynamics and a robust track record in leadership to our team.

Frode Tyholdt, PhD, explores the long lines of technology evolution that today enables advanced 3D ultrasonic object detection in air. Find out why Sonair's strength is to combine its advanced signal processing expertise with cutting-edge piezoelectric MEMS transducers.

The first public and live demo of Sonair's 3D ultrasonic sensor will be at Sensors Converge in Santa Clara (USA).

Sonair's Ole Marius Rindal Hoel will be taking the stage at The Sensor Decade to talk about how we're building the Sonair 3D ultrasonic sensor for autonomous robots.

Sonair, previously operating in stealth mode, today revealed its developments in sensor technology that improves safety in industrial automation. The company also announced the upcoming launch of its first evaluation kit this summer, signaling a significant advancement in the field of robotics and machine autonomy.

Humanity is at a crossroads. For the first time, we can see a realistic outline of a future where humans will live and work alongside machines that operate autonomously. We are starting to understand specifically how machines will be capable of acting on their own.

We went to LogiMAT, on the world's largest logistics and automation events, to find out.
