Abstract
A distance sensor includes an IR emitter, an IR receiver, and an annular support. The IR emitter includes a transmitter. The IR receiver includes a number of transceivers. The annular support includes a transmitter support and a transceiver support. The transmitter support is located centrally within the transceiver support. The transmitter is arranged on the transmitter support. The transmitter emits infrared signals through a top of the annular support to a transmission lens, and the transmission lens scatters the infrared light. The transceivers are arranged on the transceiver support and positioned around a periphery of the annular support to receive reflected infrared signals.
