Collision Detection is commonly used in automobiles to trigger airbag deployment, which can reduce the
force of an impact and save lives during an accident. A similar technique can be used on a robot to detect
when it has collided with another object.
The principle used within the Collision Detection example is the calculation of
the change in acceleration). As shown in the graph below (taken from navX-sensor data recorded in
LabVIEW of a small collision), whenever the jerk (in units of G) exceeds a threshold, a collision has
occurred.
