The Grove Ultrasonic Sensor (US5) incorporates the UltrasonicTime-of-Flight (ToF) principle. Calculating the time it takes for ultrasonic echo signals to travel to different surfaces and back, enables precise distance measurements.

In addition to its precise measurements, the sensor boasts a compact and miniature round design that is 1.6cm in diameter and 1.2cm in height. Its small size makes it well-suited for applications where space is limited. Furthermore, the sensor operates on ultra-low power, ensuring efficient energy usage and making it suitable for projects that prioritize energy efficiency.

The Grove Ultrasonic Sensor (US5) offersflag bits for material differentiation. These flag bits help distinguish between soft and hard materials, allowing the sensor to identify different ground materials. This capability is particularly useful in applications such as cleaning robots, where the ability to recognize and adapt to various surfaces is essential.

Applications:

1. Cleaning Robot
2. Material Analyzing
3. 3D printer level detection
4. Home service robot
