Summary: This project presents the application of low cost infrared sensor for robotic applications. Infrared sensor application is very common in these days and has been utilized in various fields. However, infrared sensors which offer high accuracy and cover wide angle in detection are costly. Thus, the main objective of conducting this project is to design a prototype that can perform a two-dimensional(2D) area mapping of the surrounding to give accurate detection and identification of the surrounding objects by utilizing low-cost infrared sensor, instead of using the high performance infrared sensors which their market prices are much higher. The prototype is designed to have a single rotating infrared sensor installed on the robot`s body, with a particular emphasis on having a wide observation capability up to 180°.
