The control system keeps the vehicle on the correct route. Two sensors on the bottom detect the metal striping on the floor. The built-in ultrasonic sensor makes sure that the JUNO 150 follows a wall or feed fence at a pre- determined distance. An electronic gyroscope guides the JUNO 150 in the correct direction when a turn is programmed.
