Types of robot sensors (Light and Sound sensors)

Robot sensors measure robot configuration or condition and its environment and send such information to robot controller as electronic signal for example arm position, presence of toxic gas.[1] Robot sensors Provide awareness of surroundings, allows interaction with environment, Protection & Self-Preservation, Safety, Damage Prevention, Stairwell sensor, Gives the robot capability to goal-seek, Find colorful objects, seek goals and finally makes robots “interesting”. Robots often need information that is beyond 5 human senses (e.g., ability to: see in the dark, detect tiny amounts of invisible radiation, measure movement that is too small or fast for the human eye to see). [2]

Part-Picking

Robot can handle work pieces that are randomly piled by using 3-D vision sensor. Since alignment operation, a special parts feeder, and an alignment pallete are not required, an automatic system can be constructed at low cost. Vision Sensors for example to pick bins, perform inspection, etc. In parts fitting and insertion Robots can do precise fitting and insertion of machine parts by using force sensor. A robot can insert parts that have the phases after matching their phases in addition to simply inserting them. It can automate high-skill jobs.[3]

Robot Sensation

  • Light: Presence, color, intensity, content (mod), direction.
  • Sound: Presence, frequency, intensity, content (mod), direction.
  • Heat: Temperature, wavelength, magnitude, direction.
  • Chemicals: Presence, concentration, identity.
  • Object Proximity: Presence/absence, distance, bearing, color.
  • Physical orientation/attitude/position: Magnitude, pitch, roll, yaw, coordinates, etc.[4]
