So, we hired a team of summer interns. But there was something we didn't know.

This is Vilde, Kristian, Johannes, and Anniken. What are they doing with all this gear? And why is Ronja, our house dog, posing with them?

The team, obviously not satisfied with merely building a next-generation 3D ultrasonic sensor for autonomous robots, decided to put together the ultimate experiment.

The company at large was left in the dark as they prepared their plot.

"What's the weirdest thing we can put in front of it," Vilde asked.

"Is there something our sensor won't be able to see," Johannes wondered.

"I'll bring my frisbee golf discs," Kristian said.

"Finally a chance to get rid of my dust bunnies," Anniken said with an evil grin 😈

Then Ronja, our house dog, walked by. The team looked at each other and smiled.
