From robots to retina scans, heat sensors to finger-printing, hi-tech hotels are transforming the customer experience through collaborative technology investments and networks.

The first mobile robots often used a single ultrasonic or infrared sensor mounted on a servo for a wide range. Today, even small robots are ringed with these sensors as well as image sensors.

The robot uses a whopping 32 IR sensors to follow a black line across a concrete workshop floor, adjusting its path using a steering motor salvaged from a power wheelchair.

[Stefan] beefed up the robot with a BNO055 module to determine orientation, an APDS-9930 proximity sensor, as well as four CNY70 IR proximity sensors on the bottom, used for line-following.

The IR Detector proximity sensor is designed to be compatible with both Arduino and Raspberry Pi platforms, making it a versatile choice for hobbyists and professionals alike.
