1. Our bodies were
created with wisdom.2. Our bodies are
made out of external
parts and internal
parts.
3. Our senses help us

Sensors are the parts that act like senses and candetect objects or things like heat and light andconvert the object information into symbols or inanalog or digital form so that computers understand.And then Robots react according to information provided by the sensory systembaburao@karunya.edu 912/15/2015
Sensor - a device which detects or measures a physical property
and records, indicates, or otherwise responds to it.
‘Transducer' is a device that transfers power /Energy from
one system to another in the same or in the different form

The difference between a sensor and a transducer
is that a sensor detects and reports energywhereas a transducer actually converts energy
from one form to another.
According to the instrument society of America - " A
Sensor or Transducer is a device which provides ausable output in response to a specified
measurand"

What is Sensing ?
• Collect information about the world /surrounding
• Sensor - an electrical /mechanical
/chemical device that maps anenvironmental attribute to a
quantitative measurement

Why Do Robots Need Sensors?• Provides “awareness” of surroundings
– What’s ahead, around, “out there”?
• Allows interaction with environment – Robot lawn mower can “see” cut grass
• Protection & Self-Preservation – Safety, Damage Prevention, Stairwell sensor
• Gives the robot capability to goal-seek – Find colorful objects, seek goals
• Makes robots “interesting”

Thermocouple used to produce an Analogue Signal
Analogue Sensors produce a continuous output signal or voltage which is generally proportional to
the quantity being measured. Physical quantities such as Temperature, Speed, Pressure,
Displacement, Strain etc are all analogue quantities as they tend to be continuous in nature. Forexample, the temperature of a liquid can be measured using a thermometer or thermocouple which
continuously responds to temperature changes as the liquid is heated up or cooled down.

industrial applications of torque sensors include measuring metal removal rates inmachine tools; the calibration of torque tools and sensors; measuring peel forces,
friction, and bottle cap torque; testing springs; and making biodynamic measurements
Applications for torque sensors include determining the amount of power an engine,
motor, turbine, or other rotating device generates or consumes
Torque is measured by either sensing the actual shaft deflection caused by a twisting
force, or by detecting the effects of this deflection. The surface of a shaft under torque
will experience compression and tension, as shown in Figure 6-4. To measure torque,
strain gage elements usually are mounted in pairs on the shaft, one gauge measuring
the increase in length (in the direction in which the surface is under tension), the
other measuring the decrease in length in the other direction
