== Sensor Classification ==

Sensors in robots are like our eyes, nose, ears, mouth, and skin. The major capabilities required by a robot are as follows:

1.* Simple Touch: The presence or absence of an object.

2.* Taction or Complex Touch: The presence of an object plus some information on its size and shape.

3.* Simple Force: Measured force along a single axis.

4.* Comples Force: Measured force along two or more axes.

5.* Proximity: Non-contact detection of an object.

6.* Simple Vision: Detection of edges, holes, corners, and so on.

7.* Complex Vision: Recognition of shapes.

For motion control, potentiometers, tacho-generators, encoder, etc. are used as joint sensors, whereas strain-gauge based sensing etc., are used at the end-effector ___location for contact force control.

==Internal sensor==

Internal sensors as the name suggests are used to measure the internal state of a robot ,i.e. its position, velocity, acceleration, etc. at particular instant.
