Sensors - Distance / Proximity Sensors
Does your robot having problems seeing the blackboard? Does it need to sit at the front of the class? Well, get him some robo-glasses! More particularly, some sensors for detecting distance and obstacles. DIstance and proximity sensors usually use optical or acoustic feedback to detect the environment. They can be as simple as giving you a simple ON/OFF signal when something is close, or as advanced as how far it is away in inches or centimeters.
The Analog Infra-Red Rangefinding System (AIRRS) is a efficient analog range detection sensor based on the Sharp GP2D12.
