Sensor characteristics guide – How to understand your sensor

Hi all Ok, so you read my last post on sensor types (you did, didn't you? if not check it out here) and you now know which sensor you want to use. How do you choose which sensor option to choose? That is a great question, this post will go into details of the various sensor characteristics you might see…

Sensor types (modalities) for robots to experience the world

Hi all There are many different sensor types that can be used on a robot, and most robots will have many different sensor types. I am going to talk about the common types and avoid some of the more application specific sensors such as environmental, radiation and chemical. When I think of sensors I divide them into two categories. You…
