11. Infrared Distance Sensors

How it works

Facing the insufficiency of the ultrasonic distance sensors for the autonomous navigation, we arrived at the next stop - infrared distance sensors.

The plan was to build kind of sensors array formed by the numerous distance sensors facing in different directions and saving the robot at least from hitting the obstacles in front and falling down from the height. These sensors must be inexpensive both in terms of money and energy consumption.

Soon we found an interesting option, surprisingly named "Infrared Obstacle Avoidance Sensor for Arduino Robot" - it is precisely what we need!

10. Ultrasonic Distance Sensor

How it works


It is time to teach our robot navigating autonomously around the room. Some time ago we installed Ultrasonic Distance Sensor HC-SR04 with the mounting bracket. But up to this point, it was used just as a nice decoration.
