About
Dennis Laurijssen is a researcher specializing in ultrasonic sensing, robotic perception, and acoustic imaging systems. His work centers on developing advanced sonar technologies that enable autonomous robots to navigate complex and challenging environments where conventional optical sensors fail — particularly in conditions involving airborne particles, smoke, or darkness. Laurijssen's most significant contribution is the development of the eRTIS sensor, a fully embedded real-time 3D imaging sonar system for robotic applications, which has garnered 46 citations and stands as a landmark achievement in compact sonar design. Building on this, he introduced URTIS, a smaller and more accessible 3D imaging sonar variant, and the high-resolution HiRIS system featuring a remarkable 1,024-channel microphone array for detailed airborne acoustic imaging. His portfolio also includes biologically inspired sonar platforms that draw from bat echolocation principles, demonstrating a creative interdisciplinary approach bridging neuroscience and robotics engineering. With contributions spanning sensor network architectures, GPU-accelerated real-time processing, and biomimetic navigation algorithms, Laurijssen has accumulated nearly 100 citations across his body of work. His research is particularly valuable for students and engineers seeking robust sensing solutions for autonomous systems operating in environments where visual perception alone is insufficient.
