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
