Definitions of sensor and transducer
• SENSOR: device sensitive to a physical quantity and able to transform it in a measurable and transferable signal
• TRANSDUCER: device receiving in input a kind of energy and producing in output energy of a different kind, according to a known relation between input and output, not necessarily for measurement purposes

First classification:
• Passive sensors:• convert directly input energy in output, without external
energy sources
• Active sensors:• require external energy (excitation) for energy conversion

Classification of transducers
• Radiant – electromagnetic waves:• intensity, frequency, polarization and phase
• Mechanical – external parameter of materials:• position, velocity, dimension, compliance, force
• Thermal:• temperature, gradient of temperature, heat
• Electrical:• voltage, current, resistivity, capacity
• Magnetic:• field intensity, flow density, permeability
• Chemical – internal structure of materials:• concentrations, crystal structure, aggregation state
based on the kind of input energy, output energy, or external energy

Transfer function
The transfer function (or characteristic function) is the relation between the quantity to measure (input to the sensor) and the output of the sensor
![Page 15: Z } } ^ v }didawiki.di.unipi.it/.../rob/rob19-robotsensors.pdf · d ( } u ] } v } ( v P Ç ] v v µ K µ o ] v } ( Z o } v ( ] v ] ] } v } ( v } v v µ](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050514/5f9e6f176e38b9074141762a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Calibration
The calibration procedure consists of measuring the output of the sensor for known quantitiesCalibration cycle means a trial that covers the whole working range of the sensor; the trial isdivided in two parts, one with increasingvalues and the other with decreasing values
![Page 16: Z } } ^ v }didawiki.di.unipi.it/.../rob/rob19-robotsensors.pdf · d ( } u ] } v } ( v P Ç ] v v µ K µ o ] v } ( Z o } v ( ] v ] ] } v } ( v } v v µ](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050514/5f9e6f176e38b9074141762a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Linearity
If the transfer function of a sensor is represented in a linear plot, linearity is a measure of the deviation of the transfer function from a line.The line can be chosen in two ways:1) the line between the output of the sensor for the input values
corresponding to 0% and 100% of its working range2) the line that best fits the sensor transfer function, with the
minimum squares methodLinearity is measured as the maximum difference, expressed in % of the maximum value of the transfer function, between the transfer function and the reference line

Hysteresis
If a sensor has hysteresis, for a same input value, the output may vary, depending on the fact that the input values are increasing or decreasing.Hysteresis is measured as the maximum difference betweenthe two output curves of the sensor during the calibrationcycle.It is expressed as a % of the maximum value for the transfer function

Accuracy
Accuracy represents the maximum error between the actual value and the value measured by the sensor.

Repeatability
When a same input value is applies to a sensor, repeatability is a measure of the variability of the output of the sensor.

Resolution
Resolution is the mimimum variation of the input which gives a variation of the output of the sensor.
![Page 23: Z } } ^ v }didawiki.di.unipi.it/.../rob/rob19-robotsensors.pdf · d ( } u ] } v } ( v P Ç ] v v µ K µ o ] v } ( Z o } v ( ] v ] ] } v } ( v } v v µ](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050514/5f9e6f176e38b9074141762a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Sensitiveness
A small variation of the input causes a corresponding small variation of the output values.Sensitiveness is the ratio between the output variation and the input variation.

Noise
Noise is the amount of signal in the sensor output which is not given by the input.

Stability
Stability is the capability of the sensor to keep its working characteristics for a given time (short, medium, long).

Hall-Effect sensorsIn a conductor where a current i flows, immersed in a magnetic field of intensity B, a voltage V originates in the direction normal both to the current and to the magneticfield.
Voltage is proportional to:• intensity of the current i • intensity of the magnetic field B, while it is inversely proportional to:• material thickness d:
V = R i B / d
where R = Hall constant or coefficient

2 main components:- ultrasound transducer(working both as emitterand as receiver)- electronics for computingthe distanceTypical working cycle:- the electronics controls the transducer to send ultrasounds- the receiver is disabled for a given time, in order to avoid false responses due to residual signal in the transducer- the received signal is amplified with an increasing gain, to compensate the reduction of intensity with distance- echos above a given threshold are considered and associated to the distances measured from the time passed from transmission

A simple pin-hole short-range-finding sensor uses a laser diode as a light source, and a linear photo-diode array as a detector. The range from a sensor to the object is a function of the position of the maximum detected light along the array.
