Aria Sensing, Algorized launch UWB radar platform

Aria Sensing and Algorized have announced a collaboration on an AI-powered ultra-wideband (UWB) radar platform for in-cabin sensing applications, launching with a child presence detection system for vehicles. The platform, unveiled at MWC Barcelona 2026, combines Aria Sensing’s Hydrogen 4×4 UWB radar system-on-chip with Algorized’s edge AI engine.

Aria Sensing says the Hydrogen chip is the first UWB radar system-on-chip featuring true 3D detection, integrated digital beamforming with approximately 5° angular resolution, and up to 1.8 GHz programmable bandwidth. The company says the platform can detect micro-motions, respiratory activity and occupancy patterns in vehicle cabins.

The child presence detection system is designed for OEM and tier one supplier integration and is aligned with emerging global safety regulations. When combined with Algorized’s embedded AI, the platform supports people counting and tracking, micro-motion monitoring and behavioural pattern recognition.

In a statement, Alessio Cacciatori, Chief Executive of Aria Sensing, said: “Joining advanced edge-AI features extraction with low-power, high-resolution single-chip radar devices truly enables a paradigm shift in how appliances, home, cars, and robots interact with persons.”

Natalya Lopareva, Chief Executive of Algorized, added: “By combining AI with a purpose-built 3D UWB radar architecture, we are unlocking capabilities that were simply not possible with legacy silicon.”

The companies say the platform extends beyond automotive to applications including smart buildings, consumer electronics and elderly monitoring.
