FOTRIC Unveils TD2 sense Acoustic Imaging Module: Compact, Intelligent Acoustics for Robotics and Monitoring

Powered by a 64-microphone array, the TD2 sense captures and interprets complex sound signals with high precision—enabling a range of diagnostic functions including partial discharge detection, compressed air and vacuum leak evaluation, and acoustic navigation. It can also be configured to trigger alarms based on specific sound signatures, supporting early intervention in maintenance and safety scenarios.

FOTRIC today announced the launch of the TD2 sense Acoustic Imaging Module, a palm-sized innovation that redefines how acoustic technology can be integrated into robotics and fixed monitoring systems.

Compact Power for Robotics and Fixed Monitoring
Measuring just 91 × 87 × 50 mm and weighing only 420 g, the TD2 sense delivers advanced acoustic intelligence in a lightweight, portable form. Designed for robotic platforms, overhead inspections, and discreet fixed installations, it enables continuous monitoring without adding unnecessary bulk. By extending inspection capability into hazardous or hard-to-reach environments, the module provides insights that conventional tools often miss.

Fast Integration with Developer Support
To simplify adoption, the TD2 sense comes with a developer SDK and demo software, allowing engineers and solution providers to quickly embed its acoustic functions into autonomous platforms and monitoring systems. This flexibility makes deployment efficient, scalable, and cost-effective.

Real-World Applications and Partnerships
The TD2 sense has already attracted interest from well-known robotics companies exploring new ways to enhance acoustic awareness and inspection capabilities in autonomous systems. Whether mounted on mobile robots for factory inspections or installed as a stationary monitor, the module empowers organizations to detect problems earlier, reduce risk, and improve operational efficiency.

"Compact and highly adaptable, the TD2 sense represents a step forward in acoustic sensing technology," said a FOTRIC product manager. "Its ability to serve as both an integrated component and a standalone solution expands how industries can approach inspection and monitoring tasks."

Applications Across Industries
With its portability and integration flexibility, the TD2 sense supports a wide range of industries—including power utilities, manufacturing, industrial automation, and infrastructure inspection. Whether deployed as a standalone monitor or built into autonomous systems, it helps organizations detect problems earlier, reduce risks, and enhance operational efficiency.

Invitation for Collaboration
FOTRIC welcomes partnerships with robotics developers, AI solution providers, SDK integrators, and automation innovators to explore new applications of the TD2 sense Acoustic Imaging Module. By combining FOTRIC's advanced acoustic sensing technology with cutting-edge robotics and monitoring systems, we aim to drive the next generation of intelligent inspection and industrial automation solutions.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
