# How to Code an Obstacle Avoidance Robot

An ultrasonic sensor is a critical component in robot design, enabling obstacle detection through sound waves. It emits ultrasonic pulses and measures the time it takes for the echoes to return, allowing robots to determine the distance to nearby objects.
Follow this # How to Code an Obstacle Avoidance Robot to understand ultrasonic sensor!

An ultrasonic sensor can detect the distance between it and the object detected. The left probe (R) emits ultrasonic waves, and the right one (T) receives them.
