Abstract :
Ultrasonics enables range information to be obtained directly from either time or phase measurement over much shorter distances than is possible with light because the speed of sound is much less than that of light. Research at Nottingham has been directed towards the development of transducers and associated signal processing to be used in manufacturing applications such as robot and vehicle guidance as well as parts identification and measurement
