Hello there! Do you know what robots are? They are machines that can do things like humans! But how do they know what to do and where to move? That's where sensors come in!
Sensors are like tiny robot eyes or ears. They can detect things like light, sound, temperature, movement, and many other things. They work a lot like our own senses. For example, our eyes can see light, and our ears can hear sounds.
Robotic sensors work the same way. They can "see" and "hear" things in their environment. When the sensors detect something, they send signals to the robot's computer "brain." The brain is like the robot's control center. It takes in information from the sensors and tells the robot what to do next.
Some sensors can detect things like obstacles in its path, so the robot knows to slow down or avoid them. Other sensors can measure the distance between the robot and other objects, so the robot knows how far away from things it is.
Robotic sensors are what make robots so good at doing their jobs! They can help robots build cars, explore space, and even assist doctors during surgery. Pretty cool, huh?
