1. Lesson 5: Sensors (2): ultrasonic, infrared and gyro
• Ultrasonic sensor, technology, range, experimental evaluation, sensor's mode
• example 25: run against a wall until, and discussion of the suggested code
• example 26: run away from a wall (5 min)
• discussion of the proposed possible solution
• example 27: soft approach to a wall (15 min)
• example 28: hand controlled robot
• comment of the proposed possible solution
