This is extremely small, IR proximity sensor for low range ( 0 to 10cms) approximately. This can be used with robots for obstacle detection, the range can be fine tuned with the trim pot. The board has a on board comparator which outputs logical one when obstacle is detected. Extremely simple to use with arduino and other micrcocontroller
