I’m working on a small mobile robot that will run a course defined by gps coordinates. A VL53L0X is used for obstacle detection, but thanks to you videos I’m switching to the VL53L1X sensor so I can also use gesture detection to start the robot, and also to stop it mid-course, without having to push the button now used. The button is in a location that’s hard to get to when it’s moving, and even to get it started, so this will be a significant improvement. Thank you for your development effort and for posting your work!

Thanks, great explanation of the algorithm.
