Infrared obstacle avoidance module is a kind of sensor, it is mainly used to detect whether the object exists or detect the distance and position of the object. The infrared obstacle avoidance module usually consists of an infrared transmitter and at least one receiver, the transmitter emits infrared light, and the receiver receives these rays and converts them into electrical signals. When an object blocks infrared light, the receiver detects it and sends an alarm or controls the machine to stop, avoiding collisions and damage.

Infrared obstacle avoidance modules have a variety of application scenarios, such as automated production lines, smart homes, driverless cars, and so on. In automated production lines, infrared obstacle avoidance modules can be used to detect whether items on the conveyor belt have reached the specified location, thereby controlling the robotic arm for grasping and placing operations. In smart homes, infrared obstacle avoidance modules can be used to detect whether there are people or pets in the room, so as to achieve automatic control such as intelligent lighting and intelligent air conditioning. In the driverless car, the infrared obstacle avoidance module can be used to detect obstacles and road conditions ahead, so as to ensure the safe driving of the car.

In short, infrared obstacle avoidance module is an important sensor, which plays an important role in automation, intelligence and security.
