About

S.C. Pomeroy has made foundational contributions to the field of industrial robotics, specializing in airborne ultrasonic sensing and imaging systems. His pioneering work in the 1980s and 1990s focused on developing non-contact distance measuring and inspection technologies that could operate reliably in manufacturing environments. Pomeroy’s research introduced ultrasonic sensor systems for slot and hole inspection, workspace imaging, and autonomous guided vehicle (AGV) navigation—critical capabilities for advanced manufacturing and robotic automation. A key methodological contribution was his application of transmission line matrix (TLM) modeling to evaluate and optimize ultrasonic inspection and imaging systems, providing a rigorous simulation framework that advanced the design of robotic sensors. His most-cited paper, “Ultrasonic distance measuring and imaging systems for industrial robots” (1987), has garnered 9 citations, while his follow-up work on TLM modeling (1991) has received 7 citations, reflecting sustained interest from researchers in robotics and nondestructive evaluation. Though his citation counts are modest, Pomeroy’s work represents an early and important step in integrating ultrasonic sensing into industrial robotics, laying groundwork for later advances in autonomous navigation and manufacturing inspection.
