The Lightseeking sensor Module can be used on a smart car robot for the experiment about light seeking. The basic principle of the infrared sensor is to use the reflective nature of the object. Since the resistance of a photoresistor decreases with stronger light, the car can be controlled to move based on the resistance change, that is, to seek for the light and follow it. Hyperion, an experimental robot, was developed by roboticists at the Robotics Institute at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University, CMU. For a better understanding, have a look at the line following robot, surveillance robot car, obstacle-avoiding robot t hat. Light Sensors are photoelectric devices that convert light energy (photons) whether visible or infra-red light into an electrical (electrons) signal What Are Light Sensors? A Light Sensor generates an output signal indicating the intensity of light by measuring the radiant energy that exists in a.
