Sonair built its 3D ultrasonic sensor with robotic safety in mind

techcrunch.com Rebecca Szkutak 2025-09-23 17:00:00

As robots increasingly enter human spaces, robotics companies will need to think about safety differently than they did when robots were largely siloed from their human counterparts. Sonair thinks its sensors can help robotics companies reach their safety goals — with a solution that is both better and cheaper than popular LIDAR technology. The Oslo, Norway-based company built an ADAR (acoustic detection and ranging) sensor for robots that uses high frequency sound. These sensors send out ultr

According to the bill, the act would "establish a Federal regulatory sandbox program for artificial intelligence, and for other purposes." In introducing the bill, Cruz said it would allow AI tech to be unhindered by "outdated or inflexible federal rules." In addition to establishing a program for this, the bill, if passed,

A new species of bacteria has come to light in Brazil. It’s genetically similar to two other disease-causing bacteria from the Andes, which are known to infect humans through sand fly bites. According to a study published this summer in the journal Acta Tropica, researchers have discovered a new bacteria species in phlebotomine insects (sand flies) in the Amazon National Park in Brazil’s state of Pará.

Huge Parts of the North Sea Seabed Are Upside Down, New Study Reveals

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-10-31 07:25:03

In the world of stratigraphy, or rock layers, superficial sediments are usually younger than the deeper ones they settle upon. The North Sea, however, has revealed giant mounds of sand that defy this geological principle on a scale scientists have never seen before. Researchers from Norway and the UK have identified hundreds of sand bodies under the North Sea that seem to have sunk deeper into the ocean’s crust, swapping places with older layers, which floated to the top of the sand structures.
