Teach Kids Robotics Lesson 6: Why Don't Robots Like Shiny Black Floors?
In this video, we'll explain the science behind why robots don't like shiny black floors. We'll dive into the limitations of LiDAR sensors, the most common sensor used in robotics to understand the environment. For more information on how robots work, check out www.teachkidsrobotics.com.
In addition to color, glass is a problem for lidar as it may not properly reflect light, but refract it instead.
