Use the position sensors on Marty's arm motors to detect when someone wants to shake hands. Then Marty will give them their first robot handshake!
We have already looked at responding to obstacles using IR sensors, but another way to respond to the environment is to look at the position readings from the servo motors. Doing this, we can tell when pressure is placed on Marty’s arm, causing a small change in it's position and program him to respond, for example, to carry out a handshake with someone!
