I was thinking the same thing.

Even at 2 meter range with centimeter resolution, these devices would be a much better solution to the "local obstacle" problem than ultrasonics today. Mobile platforms moving around in spaces with a lot of miscellaneous obstacles have to either be compliant (or padded) enough to just push through them or slow enough to detect them and move around them.
