The sensor is a Sharp Infrared distance sensor with a range from 1" to 12".
The sensor is on the very front of the robot, just under the chassis. It is mounted on a servo so it can scan horizontally for detecting objects very close to the robot (the sensor of course also worked fine for detecting the barriers in this demo).
Good project, you could have used a webcam for obstacle detection.
Anyway, I think a Beagle Board could be a good replacement for the netbook.

What kind of detection sensor do you use on your robot? Is it a ultrasonic transceiver?
