Detailed Description

The infrared ground around sensors of the MarXbot.

The infrared ground sensors below the base of the robot (just above the wheels). This only works with objects in the arena. This sensor applies noise if requested

This class does not add any other parameter to those defined by the parent class (MarXbotSensor)

The resources required by this Sensor are the same as those of the parent class plus:

• arena: the instance of the Arena object where the robot lives
