Position sensor accurancy

Hi.

We are looking for a sensor to guide a robot, we thought something similar to roomba automatic charger, I think this robot uses a infrared sensor in both robot and charge station, in order to guided correctly this robot.
What we could use to get this?

Thank you.
Regards.

Hello @dcondeKoalalifter and welcome to the forum,

You can use a distance sensor (either infrared or ultrasonic) or a vision sensor (camera module).

You will also need a microcontroller or single-board computer to read and process the data you acquire with the sensors. We suggest checking these tutorials to have an idea of the different options available and what they can achieve
