SonicBoom is a new system that lets robots sense their surroundings using sound. Navigating real-world environments like farms requires robots to know if they might hit any branches or environmental barriers that are tricky to pick up on camera. Sensing with sound is cheaper and more robust than pressure sensors, with centimeter-level precision.

This Robotic Arm Senses Branches With Sound

SonicBoom lets robots "feel" their way through farms using sound. Could this be the key to affordable and efficient harvesting?
