Overview
Sensors are devices that detect and respond to physical, chemical, or environmental stimuli and convert them into measurable signals or data. In robotics, they act as the robot's sense organs, helping it understand its surroundings, control its movement, avoid danger, and interact with humans and ob
Key Concepts
A sensor detects a stimulus from
A sensor detects a stimulus from the environment or from within a system and converts it into a measurable output. It helps a robot collect useful inf
A sensor includes a sensing element
A sensor includes a sensing element, signal processing circuitry, and an output interface. The sensing element detects the change, the circuitry proce
Internal sensors are integrated into
Internal sensors are integrated into the system being measured and monitor internal parameters such as position, velocity, acceleration, or force. Exa
External sensors are located outside
External sensors are located outside the system being measured and provide information about the robot's interaction with the environment. They are fu
Contact sensors require physical contact
Contact sensors require physical contact with an object to gather information. Examples include tactile sensors, proximity switches, and force sensors
