Ultrasonic sensors are used to measure the distance to objects within the sensor’s metering range. The metering principle is based on measuring the time of flight of a sound pulse. This pulse is created by the sensor, reflected by an obstacle and then received by the sensor.

The USBoard-USS5 is capable of operating up to 16 ultrasonic sensors of type Bosch USS5. It can be used for collision detection on autonomous vehicles like mobile robot, wheeled drones and other AGVs. The board features easy commissioning, comfortable parametrization and a wide range of custom settings. Defining warning and alarm distances allows an easy detection of possible collisions.

Furthermore four analogue inputs are available on the board. These inputs can be used to add other sensors to the system without the need for any additional boards.
