Abstract
A container includes a bottom surface, at least one side surface, and a single-axis distance sensor. The at least one side surface surrounds the bottom surface to form a closed shape. The single-axis distance sensor is configured to project a line light ray within a horizontal plane, at which the single-axis distance sensor is disposed, to receive and sense a reflected line light ray from substance in a space formed by the bottom surface and the at least one side surface.
