As the robot did not implement any hardware measures to prevent this, and a hardware revision was neither feasible within the scope of the thesis, nor desired by the supervising professor, I implemented a software-based solution.</p> <p>What follows is a simplified explanation.</p> </div><div class="column-right"> <figure class="project-figure"> <div class="project-figure-media"> <a href="https://phillipkuehne.de/images/projects/dezibot/Dezibot_Above.jpg" class="lightbox-image" data-description="The Dezibot in its fourth iteration" data-title="The Dezibot in its fourth iteration" title="The Dezibot in its fourth iteration" > <img src="https://phillipkuehne.de/images/projects/dezibot/Dezibot_Above.jpg" alt="The Dezibot in its fourth iteration" loading="lazy" decoding="async" /> <span class="project-zoom-badge" aria-hidden="true"> <i class="fa fa-expand"></i> </span> </a> </div><figcaption><p>The Dezibot in its fourth iteration</p></figcaption></figure> </div><div style="clear:both"></div></div>
