Ultrasonic Sensor
Ultrasonic sensors are used to measure distance and create images by emitting and receiving high-frequency sound waves, finding applications in diverse fields from robotics and industrial automation to medical imaging and structural health monitoring. Current research emphasizes improving accuracy and robustness through advanced signal processing techniques, including beamforming and deep learning algorithms like convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for data analysis and direction-of-arrival estimation. These advancements are driving improvements in applications such as autonomous navigation, precision manufacturing, and minimally invasive medical procedures, highlighting the sensor's versatility and growing importance across multiple scientific disciplines.
