Robot-Eyes

Robot eyes
An infrared LED and a phototransistor are used for each eye. Half of a 556 timer IC (ICl-a) functions as an as table multivibrator oscillating at a frequency of about 1 kHz. That IC drives transistor Ql which in turn drives the two infrared LED's, LED1 and LED2. The right eye is composed of LED1 and Q2. If an obstacle appears in front of the right eye, pulses from LED1 are reflected by the obstacle and detected by Q2. The signal from Q2 is amplified by Q3, which triggers IC2, a 555.
