mBot Sensors

At the end of the topic,


participants are expected to:
• Determine the types of sensors
that mBot can use;
• Be able to program and use the
sensors to perform the assigned
task
What is a
Sensor?
A robot will have a tough
time if it cannot sense the
world around it
What Can Sensors Do?
• detects and responds to some type of
input from the physical environment.
The specific input could be light, heat,
motion, moisture, pressure, or any one
of a great number of other
environmental phenomena.
Types of sensors for mBot
Ultrasonic Sensor
works by sending out
pulses of sound at a very
high frequency. The sound
bounces off objects and
returns to the sensor as an
echo. The sensor measures
the time between sending
the pulse and hearing the
echo.
The Manufacturers Specifications state
that the sensor can do the following;

It has a measurement resolution of 10mm.

It has an angle over which it can detect


things of 15°

And it can measure distances between 2cm


and 4m

The reading from the sensor is in


centimetres.
Me 3-Axis Accelerometer
and Gyro Sensor
is a motion processing
module. It can use to measure
the angular rate and the
acceleration information of
your robot or other devices.
Me Flame Sensor
can be used to detect fire
source or light source with
wavelength in the range of
760 nm to 1100 nm
Me Gas Sensor
includes a smoke sensor of
type MQ2 which has good
repeatability, long-term
stability, short response time,
and durable working
performance. It is often used
as a gas leakage monitoring
device in family and factory
Me Line Follower Array
is specially designed for
professional users who need
to make line-following robots,
such as makers
On-Board Sensors
How to use
Sensors?
Logic for Obstacle
Avoidance
Your Challenge
• Is your mBot afraid of the dark? No? Well it - should be.
There’s monsters out there.
• Use the on-board light sensor to make your mBot speed
up to get out of dark places quickly.
Thank You and
God bless!
