I was musing over what the well sensored robot would be
sensing next and it crossed my mind that a small metal
detector sensor might be an interesting addition.
Light sensor electrical interface. Brick sized. Limited range
but could provide interesting input for searcher/grabber
robots.
So #1. Design and build the sensor. Not too hard.
#2. Build a grabber that can pick up a quarter.
Now that could be tricky! Sometimes, even the human
end effector has trouble with that one!
Thoughts?

| Well, about the metal detecion, ive some small metal detectors. the shape of them is a threaded cylinder they vary from about 1cm in diameter to 0.5 cm. The range in length from 4-6cm. Im not exactly sure how they work, but i know how to use them. (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics)
