SENSORS

Sensors are a key component to modern robots, since they rely on their sensors to analyse and gather information on their task and send it to the computer. Without sensors, the robot would never know whether the screw was inserted or if the robot dropped it. Sensors are especially improtant for any robot that is to be completely independant, because without a steady stream of data about the robots surroundings, the robot would be sure to fail.

The following is a list of the various types of SENSORS that will be covered in this section. 


      SPEECH RECOGNITION
      TACTILE/TOUCH SENSORS
      RESISTIVE BASED SENSORS
      CHEMICAL SENSORS
