determined by moving the obstacle away from the glasses
until it was no longer detected. The results demonstrated
(Figure 7) that the aluminium foil has the best detection
potential while ABS has the worst. Glass was also tested,
but was excluded from the results in Figure 7, because its
detection depends on the sensor angle. Under the specific
angle glasses could detect it up to the distance of 1.5 m,
but in most cases glass wasn’t detected. Plexi glass was also
interesting because it was consistently detected, but only by
one or two sensors, even on a 30 cm distance.

be too great, since only one (the middle) sensor detected
