Sensors

These are what lets a robot gain information about what’s around them: their environment. They also allow a robot to be aware of what’s going on with their own internal parts. To be able to do any of the things required of a robot, sensors are essential. They allow a robot to detect changes around them, so they can take appropriate action. The robot that needs to drive down a road on wheels, from our earlier example, must be able to detect changes in the surface of the road, or obstacles that might be in the way.

Sensors are also used as a part of safety features, or to warn the robot and its operators about malfunctions. This real time information is what lets the robot have an idea of where it is, and what it is doing.

Touch and vision are two of the primary sensor types being developed at the moment. Other common types include radar, lidar, and sonar.
