Robot Sensors

A sensor is a device that measures a physical quantity and converts it into a signal which can be read by an observer or by an instrument.

Sensors are used in everyday objects such as touch-sensitive elevator buttons (tactile sensor) and lamps which dim or brighten by touching the base. There are also innumerable applications for sensors of which most people are never aware. Applications include cars, machines, aerospace, medicine, manufacturing and robotics

A sensor is a device which receives and responds to a signal or stimulus.Here,the term "stimulus" means a property or a quantity that needs to be converted into electrical form.Hence,sensor can be defined as a device which receives a signal and converts it into electrical form which can be further used for electronic devices.A sensor differs from a transducer in the way that a transducer converts one form of energy into other form whereas a sensor converts the received signal into electrical form only.
