Study Notes
Sensors
- Sensors help robots interact with the environment, similar to how human senses help us perceive the world.
- They detect changes in the environment and provide input to the robot, enabling it to move, detect obstacles, and take actions.
Types of Sensors
Temperature Sensors
- Control temperature and take decisions accordingly.
- Detect changes in temperature and perform necessary actions to control it.
Humidity Sensors
- Also known as hygrometers, they sense, measure, and report both air temperature and moisture content.
- Used in various sectors, such as manufacturing, agriculture, construction, and heating, ventilation, etc.
Infrared (IR) Sensors
- Use infrared rays to detect the presence of an object.
- Emit infrared light and observe its reflection to detect obstacles or follow a path.
- Important applications include obstacle detection, path planning, and communication.
Ultrasonic Sensors
- Detect objects or obstacles using sound waves.
- Transmission and reflection of sound waves help robots navigate from one location to another.
Pressure Sensors
- Detect changes in pressure and help robots understand the force generated through pressure.
- Examples include measuring the amount of gas left in a compressor and grabbing an object with the desired amount of pressure.
Learn about sensors in robotics, their functions, and how they interact with the environment. Explore the analogy with human senses and common types of sensors.
