Sensors

• Sensors• Perceive properties and events

from environment• Color, shape, size of objects• A human is approaching the robot

• Feedback on its own behaviors• Is the robot hand touching the cup?

• Example sensors:• Gyroscope, thermometer, laser sensor, camera, microphone, etc.

13Artificial Intelligence - RoboTutor

Sensor – Position sensors(Magnetic Rotary Encoder)

• Detect the (angular) position of

joints/motors

• In the picture

• Two equally spaced magnets

• The output voltage peaks twice

per revolution.

14Artificial Intelligence - RoboTutor

Force sensor- Force Sensitive Resistors

• Detect whether the robot is standing on something

• Force change ->Resistor value change

• Walking balance

• Fall-down detection

15Artificial Intelligence - RoboTutor

Tactile Sensors• Hand (3)

• Left, Right, Back

• Head (3)• Front, middle, back

• Foot (2x2)• Left, right

16Artificial Intelligence - RoboTutor

Inertial and Gyro sensors

• Acceleration: x, y, z• Rotation: Roll (x), Pitch (y)

• Tracking the robot position
