Study Notes

Indicator Devices

  • Indicator devices gather information about the robot's surroundings and internal state.

Sensors

  • Detect various physical phenomena, such as light, sound, temperature, pressure, distance, and more.
  • Act as the robot's "eyes and ears".

Vision Sensors

  • Provide visual information about the environment.
  • Enable object recognition, obstacle detection, and path planning.
  • Examples: cameras, LiDAR, depth sensors.

Color Detector

  • Uses a light-dependent resistor (LDR) array and LEDs of different colors.
  • Identifies the dominant color when a light is shone on the array.

Line Follower

  • Uses an infrared sensor array or a webcam.
  • Teaches basic concepts of line detection and control.

Proximity Sensors

  • Detect nearby objects using infrared, ultrasonic, or magnetic fields.
  • Help robots avoid collisions and navigate tight spaces.

Obstacle Avoidance Robot

  • Uses an ultrasonic sensor to detect obstacles.
  • Programs the robot to turn or stop accordingly.

Distance Measurement Tool

  • Uses an ultrasonic sensor to measure the distance to an object.
  • Displays the distance on an LCD screen.

Touch Sensors

  • Tactile sensors with pressure or force sensitivity.
  • Allow robots to "feel" objects, enabling grasping, manipulation, and surface texture analysis.
