Description

An IR sensor operates by emitting infrared light and measuring the reflection or interruption of that light to detect objects, measure distances, or gauge proximity. It is widely used in various applications, including obstacle detection, distance measuring, and object counting, due to its ability to function in low-light conditions and its non-contact nature.

Key Features:

• Object Detection: Identifies the presence of objects by detecting reflected infrared light.
• Distance Measurement: Measures the distance to objects based on the time taken for infrared light to return.
• Non-Contact Operation: Operates without physical contact, making it suitable for delicate or hazardous environments.
• Versatile Use: Ideal for applications such as obstacle avoidance in robotics, proximity sensing, and automatic lighting systems.
• Low Light Functionality: Effective in low-light or dark environments where visible light sensors may not perform well.
