I need information about ranging devices suitable for robotics, that is,
devices that allow a robot to measure the distance between itself and other
objects. I have been using Polaroid's ultrasonic sensor, which has worked
well but has not been totally satisfactory for a number of reasons. (Amazing
the things that Polaroid develops. :-)) I am particularly interested in
information about optical devices (which typically use infrared). 

Please mail your replies, and if there is sufficient interest I'll post a
summary.

Thanks, all you wonderful people....
