Most hobbyist robots use a commonly-available ultrasonics module (typically called an HC-SR04 or something similar) that costs a few dollars.
I've been using a driver board from PiBorg called the [UltraBorg|https://www.piborg.org/sensors-1136/ultraborg] that has both support for four servos and four HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensors, with a support library in Python.

A more advanced sensor is available from SensComp, which uses a transducer similar to those found in the Polaroid SX-70 Sonar camera, circa 1978. These sensors are have a longer range and are more sensitive than their cheaper brethren.

SensComp offers a complete Development kit using the Arduino. This is the __Smart Sensor Ultrasonic Development Kit For Arduino__, [attached is a spec sheet|attach/UltrasonicSensor/Smart_Sensor_Ultrasonic_Development_Kit_for_Arduino_Spec-201303-08.pdf] for the kit. I have also included the [spec sheet for the Smart sensor|attach/UltrasonicSensor/Smart_Sensor_Spec_2013-03-08.pdf] itself which can also be purchased separately. Also [attached is the code|attach/UltrasonicSensor/Ping_SMRT.ino] for the development kit.
