What’s a Distance Sensor?​

The Distance Sensor uses a small laser to determine the distance to an object. The sensor uses the Time of Flight method for a very fast and accurate distance reading. The package also includes two googly eyes for added creative flair.

Obstacle Avoiding Robots

If a robot is going to navigate its environment, it can’t run into things! Add a Distance Sensor, a bit of code, and your GoPiGo can avoid objects.

Plug-and-Play Connection

Skip the soldering. Jump to the invention. GoPiGo uses a simple connection wire to attach sensors and actuators to the robot. Exploration made easier.
