Bosch Multi Purpose Radar Sensor: The Solution for Autonomous Robotics​

Radar Sensor from Bosch

Powerful Multi Purpose Radar Sensor

Are you looking for a solution for the autonomous navigation of your robots that combines safety, reliability, and cost-efficiency? Proven and robust automotive radar technology meets modern requirements from the robotics segment!​

In the field of automated driving and autonomous robotics, the ability to consistently and reliably detect and react to objects and people is absolutely crucial. Especially in outdoor applications and in complex urban traffic – where safety, reliability, and reaction speed are paramount without a driver – sensor technology that makes no compromises is essential.​

Advantages and Precision

This is where the Bosch Multi Purpose Radar Sensor comes in. Optimized for the needs of autonomously operating (delivery-) robots, this radar enables quick and reliable detection and tracking of objects. Thanks to its long range, wide opening angle, high angular resolution, and proprietary chirp sequence modulation, it allows for precise, fast, and robust object detection and tracking. The Location Gateway Unit (LGU) interface delivers up to 255 locations, along with their position, relative speed, and direction of movement, with extreme precision. These features make the radar ideal for simultaneously detecting, distinguishing, and tracking multiple objects and people in urban environments.​

The Bosch Multi Purpose Radar Sensor offers standard hardware and software from the Bosch Automotive Tech Stack: robust and reliable over a long lifespan, with millions of units proven in automotive quality, and at attractive prices. It is weatherproof and functions even in extreme weather conditions and poor visibility, ensuring reliable navigation. The robust hardware enables reliable use in a wide variety of environments, including dusty and humid conditions.

Robust Technology, Easy Integration, and Cost-Effectiveness

The hardware meets the high standards of the automotive series, while the software is specifically optimized for the requirements of robots. The LGU interface provides an ideal data basis for efficient data fusion with data from other sensors. It delivers an excellent integration experience for robotics, even for perception use cases where video cameras and LiDAR might fail. Furthermore, smart software features (including ROS drivers) have been developed, allowing for quick integration into existing ecosystems. With a ROS2 driver, integration into ROS-based systems is simply "plug and receive."​

Another crucial advantage: Due to the unchanged design from the automotive sector, you benefit from cost advantages stemming from mass production. A 360-degree radar protection thus costs only a fraction of the expense of previous solutions, making it an economical choice for modern delivery services. In addition, the invisible mounting behind the robot's housing protects against damage from accidents and vandalism.​

Trust the Bosch Multi Purpose Radar Sensor. It ensures that your robots – especially in outdoor use – can operate more safely, efficiently, and autonomously. This makes it the ideal solution for modern logistics and delivery services in urban areas that value maximum performance and safety. Equip your fleet with the future of sensor technology and reach new levels in autonomous robotics!
