Field of View Experiment (Investigation Summary)


On Monday November the 3rd we did an experiment involving the ultra sonic sensor, me and Bart got grouped together with Kenny and Navid. The objective was to see the range of which the ultrasonic sensor detects an object; in this case it was a coke light can. We started with setting up the robot at the bottom of a lying whiteboard. Then we took a one meter long ruler and beside it we put tape to about 110 cm(image to the right). On the tape we drew lines every 10 cm. Then we put the coke can at different places and where the sensor indicated a reading we put black tape and wrote the location. End result at the bottom.

It is simple and easy to follow but how did you record your raw data?

The Aluminum can was actually very hard to measure since the robots sensor was catching alot of unknown values.
