Gyro Sensor
Gyro Sensor
The gyro sensor integrated behind the main control plate can
detect the motion of the robot. After collecting the robot' s motion
information, the gyroscopic sensor will use motion controller to
constantly adjust the motion of the robot to auto-balance the
robot. The gyroscopic sensor technology has been used on a
number of different applications such as RC products (Drones &
Helicopters), and mobile devices for changing screen orientation.
Ultrasonic Sensor
Ultrasonic sensor allows Tomo to avoid hitting objects through the use of its two probes that act as the receiver and the
emitter. The emitter first emits ultrasonic waves in all directions. As the emission begins, it triggers an internal timer to start
counting. When an ultrasonic wave hits an object and bounces back,the receiver will process it and the internal timer will stop.
The velocity of the ultrasonic wave in the air is 340m/s. Based on time that it took to hit the object and come back, the
distance between the object and the emitter can be calculated as
