Innovation Lab
Get inspiration from tech projects by Acconeer engineers, use the assets to evaluate a use case and explore the endless possibilities of Acconeer’s radar technology. And why not try out your own idea?
The projects you find on this page are experimental and intended to inspire and provide basic assets and guidance for anyone who wants to explore these radar-based use cases. In general, they are not continuously updated or supported with official software. For implementations using A111-based modules or EVK, the use case will most likely work just as well or even better using the new A121 radar sensor. Don’t forget to also have a look at our more thoroughly tested and supported Reference Applications!

-
Waste Level Management
The A121 radar sensor is mounted on the lid of a bin to monitor the level of rubbish.
-
Hand motion detection
In this Innovation Lab post, you will learn how to implement a hand detection algorithm — applied in a faucet application — using the A121 Pulsed Coherent Radar sensor.
-
Speed measurement
The speed of cars and small objects can be measured using the A121 Pulsed Coherent Radar sensor.
-
Surface velocity measurement
The A121 Pulsed Coherent Radar sensor is used to monitor and measure water surface speed and direction.
-
Vibration measurement
Vibration is measured using the A121 sensor. Vibration measurement can be utilized to predict maintenance.
-
Home assistant
The A111 sensor is connected to the home assistant network. The sensor can detect the presence of humans and the movement of hands.
