Read and Annotate: A Robot That Finds Its Way
At robotics club, Gabriela and Diego tested a small delivery robot in a hallway. The robot kept bumping into a box because its camera could not see well in dim light. To fix the problem, the team added an ultrasonic sensor. First, they connected the sensor to the robot’s control board. Next, they programmed the robot to slow down when an object was close. Finally, they tested it again. The robot stopped before reaching the box. Unlike the camera, the sensor measured distance by sending out sound waves and listening for their echoes. As a result, the robot could detect the box even when the hallway was dim.
