In this episode of The New Warehouse Podcast, Kevin chats with Knut Sandven. Sandven is the founder and CEO of Sonair, a Norway-based startup bringing new depth to robotic vision. With a background in ultrasonic sensing and two previous startups under his belt, Knut shares how Sonair is enabling warehouse robots to “see” with ultrasonic depth sensors that work in 3D. These sensors allow autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and robotic arms to detect and navigate around various types of objects, including transparent, reflective, and oddly shaped ones.

Sonair’s sensors are built on a medical-grade beamforming technique, allowing them to detect soft, hard, or glass objects with high reliability. The sensors are not only designed to enhance safety but are also being launched in safety-certified versions, helping robotics OEMs meet compliance standards more efficiently. For warehouses looking to deploy automation without reconfiguring their entire layout, Sonair’s technology could be a game changer.
