Parallax Penguin Eye Skin
Penguin Robot software programmed by Humanoido
OVERVIEW
This simple robot eye mimics a human eye by approximating the distance to objects and showing a trace to the image on artificial retina skin. It can even see mirages and hallucinate under certain rare conditions. It can also report statistics
about the object in the line of vision.

This is the eye skin version of the Retina Eye ALURE. Retina has segment display reporting while this version has strictly the eye skin. ALURE is Penguin Robot's Artificial Linear Ultrasonic Retina Eye. The program uses a PING))) expanded Penguin Robot and the AUX port's pin 5. PING))) is an ultrasonic detector that determines the distance of objects. The code creates an artificial retina, the area of the eye that forms an image to show this distance in real time.
