    Abstract: A movable object for detecting an obstacle includes a first passive infrared sensor having a first detection range and a first field of view, and one or more second passive infrared sensors each having a second detection range and a second field of view. The second detection range is longer than the first detection range and the second field of view is smaller than the first field of view. The movable object further includes one or more processors configured to calculate a distance from the movable object to the obstacle based on data from at least one of the first passive infrared sensor or the one or more second passive infrared sensors, and determine whether to effect a collision avoidance maneuver for the movable object to avoid the obstacle based on the distance.
