Roboraptor Infrared Sensors

IR Sensor Location

The Roboraptor infrared (IR) sensors are situated within the plastic dome part above his head. These sensors detect the signal from the infrared remote controller; however they are also a part of his reflective IR vision system. This vision system consists of a pair of IR emitters (diodes) within his nose, which transmit IR light in the forward direction. When there is an obstacle ahead, this light reflects back (depending upon the surface) and is detected by the IR sensors within the dome head.
