5. Table Edge Detection Example
Moving the robot was fun and simple but what about doing some more interesting stuff.
We will make the robot smart enough to move on a table without falling off. This requires
us to detect the edge of the table.
The included reflective sensor components are ideal for this task. This sensor emits an
invisible infrared light and then tries to measure it back to see if the light is "reflected". This
can be used to detect a black line on a white sheet of paper to help guide a robot. This
component simply outputs different voltage level according to the returned reflection
density.
Let's first attach the reflective sensor components, then we will explain how they would
help finding the edge more.
