SonicBoom allows autonomous robots to use sound to sense objects it touches

77% Informative
SonicBoom allows autonomous robots to use sound to sense the objects it touches.
System involves an array of contact microphones, which detect physical touch as sound signals that propagate through solid materials.
The approach is described in a study published 2 June in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters.
The system has yet to be tested in real-world agricultural settings.
