E013 Can the TCRT5000 photo-reflective sensor Act as Proximity Sensor?

 For collision avoidance, the Zoomie needs a proximity sensor on the front to detect objects in the direction of travel.  A laser based TOF sensor failed to perform to our needs.  The TCRT5000 is investigated in this video as an alternative sensing device.


Cheers!
