The document discusses the various sensors that can be used with the mBot robot, including ultrasonic sensors, accelerometers and gyroscopes, flame sensors, gas sensors, and line follower arrays. It provides details on the capabilities and specifications of the ultrasonic sensor and describes challenges for participants to program the mBot to avoid obstacles using its sensors and speed up in the dark using the light sensor.

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!
