Abstract
Robotics research is heavily dependent on fast, accurate, reliable and cheap sensors. Sonar sensing can fulfil these requirements in air and underwater environments. Moreover sonar physics provides robotics researchers with a natural selection capability for landmark detection in navigation problems. This paper presents new sonar results that allow highspeed accurate measurement and classification suitable for moving platforms that has been combined with interference rejection to allow multiple sonar systems to co-exist.
