Sensors used on the prototype:
• Ultrasound sensors
• 9 implemented (only 4 active at one time)
• Advantages: - cheap solution- long range (typ. 20 cm 5 m)
• Drawbacks: - long response time (up to 50 ms)
• Infrared sensors
• 2 implemented (when passing through a door)
• Advantages: - no latency induced
• Drawbacks: - short range (< 1 m)
