Robot sensors are used to estimate robot condition, its environment and passes that signal to robot controller in order to control robot functionality.[1][2]

Types of robot sensors (Light and Sound sensors)

Part-Picking

In special parts feeder, an alignment pallet are not necessarily required since automatic system can be constructed at low cost alignment operation like vision sensors that perform inspection, pick bins, etc. Insertion robots can perform fitting and insertion operation of machine parts precisely with the help of different kind of sensor. Different phases parts are attached by robot after matching. It can perform tasks that are beyond from human approach.[3]

Robot Sensation

Robot Sensation allows robot to measure distance between object, presence of light, frequency of sound etc. depending on the type of sensors embedded in robot.[4] Robot can measure:

  • Object Proximity: Presence/absence of object, bearing, color, distance between objects.
  • Physical orientation. co-ordinates of object in space.
  • Heat: Wavelength of infrared or ultra violet rays, temperature, magnitude, direction.
  • Chemicals: Robot can measure presence, identity, concentration of chemicals or reactants.
  • Light: Presence of light, different color, intensity of light.
  • Sound: Presence, frequency, intensity.[5]
