The Portland Area Robotics Society (PARTS) has an occasional newsletter with
good robotics information in it. One of the issues discussed using a stud
sensor as an object detector. The author bought one, wired the LED output
to the robot input, and it worked great. I think the technology is entirely
electromagnetic.
Unfortunately the server is currently down so I can't find you the exact
link -- sorry.
Their web site is at http://www.rdrop.com/users/marvin. I hope it works for
you when you try it - it's dead right now.

The stud sensor isn't ultrasonic or infrared. I don't *think* it's
microwave, but I don't know for sure.
