Walabot's powerful sensor technology can look through walls to detect structural foundations, track a person's location and vital signs as they move through a Smart Home, measure the speed of a fast-moving ball, and help drones and cars avoid collisions.  Available on Android devices in April 2016, Walabot's programmable sensors open up a world of possibilities for curious inventors and developers everywhere.

"Walabot instantly turns a smartphone into a powerful 3D-imaging system at your fingertips.  Our advanced technology lets people see all kinds of things hidden in the world around them, adding yet another dimension to the way people use smart devices today," said Raviv Melamed, CEO and co-founder, Vayyar Imaging.

It can help the blind avoid obstacles, sense – and alert you – if your mother or father has fallen in the shower, help your robot become autonomous, and much more. We can't wait to see what other kinds of applications makers and curious inventors around the world will create for Walabot."
