<\/a><\/a>\n\"The bottleneck to safe human-robot coexistence isn't intelligence or speed,\u201d said Knut Sandven, CEO of Sonair<\/a>. \u201cIt's safe perception; knowing reliably under any condition, that a human is nearby. This milestone certification is the first time a 3D sensor has been independently verified to meet that bar using sound instead of light - a new sensing modality that complements cameras where they fall short.\u201d<\/p> \nDesigned for autonomous mobile robots and industrial automation, ADAR One<\/a> delivers 180\u00b0\u00d7180\u00b0 3D spatial awareness, detecting people and obstacles at all heights, eliminating the limitations and blind spots that define today's 2D safety systems. Easy integration with a tiny footprint enables ADAR (acoustic detection and ranging) technology to be embedded flush into virtually any robot form factor, including humanoids.<\/p> \n\u201cADAR One does not merely replace a sensor. It introduces a new safety layer for robotics, a certified 3D perceptual foundation that sits beneath any camera, AI stack, or motion system, independently verifying that the space around a robot is safe,\u201d said Knut Sandven.<\/p> \nADAR One is already in series production and shipping on deployed industrial robots. Since the introduction of the beta version of ADAR one year ago, more than 80 global robotics companies have rigorously evaluated ADAR through Sonair's test program within. For many, safety certification is the moment they have been waiting for.<\/p> \nbeRobox<\/a>, a leader in plug-and-play palletizing and de-palletizing solutions, has entered into an agreement with Sonair to deploy the safety-certified ADAR One sensor in future solutions. The agreement marks certified 3D safety arriving in one of industrial automation's highest throughput use cases, where machines and people share the tightest spaces.<\/p> \n\"At beRobox, innovation is not just about developing new products. It's about continuously integrating the best technologies available to simplify automation for our customers. Partnering with Sonair is another step in our mission to stay ahead through innovation and deliver the most advanced, user-friendly palletizing and de-palletizing solutions on the market,\u201d said David Demers, CEO of beRobox<\/p> \nThe certification\n \nThe result: ADAR is rated SIL 2, (Safety Integrity Level 2) and PL d (Performance Level d) with a probability of dangerous failure (PFH) below 1.5 x 10\u207b7<\/sup> per hour.<\/p> \nADAR has received an EC type-examination certificate from exida<\/a>, a notified body under the Machinery Directive 2006\/42\/EC. In addition to the above-mentioned standards, exida has assessed ADAR\u2019s conformity to the essential health and safety requirements from the European machine directive.<\/p> \nFurthermore, ADAR is the first safety-certified embedded system to be built in Rust, a programming language especially designed for performance, safety, and reliability.<\/p> \nWhat this means for robot manufacturers, system integrators, and end users<\/b><\/p> \n\u201cThis is precisely the role ADAR One is designed to play as a drop-in, pre-certified safety layer,\u201d said Sandven. \u201cWhat used to be an engineering burden is now transformed into a commercial differentiator for all stakeholders.\u201d<\/p> \nAvailability\n \nMedia resources (images, illustrations, and more): <\/b>Here<\/a> \nAbout Sonair\n \nIndustry data:<\/p>\n
