2.14.3. Development of Robust Sensors

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is the function of vision sensors in robotics?

   Hint

   Think about how human eyes work.

2. 2.

   Name one type of tactile sensor.

   Hint

   Consider different ways robots can feel.

3. 3.

   What do vision sensors help robots primarily do?

   • See and interpret surroundings
   • Sense touch
   • Measure distance

   Hint

   Which sense does it relate to in humans?

4. 4.

   True or False: Tactile sensors provide feedback for grip control in robots.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about how a human adjusts grip on fragile items.

5. 5.

   Design a robotic system that uses vision and tactile sensors to navigate through and manipulate fragile items in a warehouse.

   Hint

   Consider what happens if the robot squeezes too hard.

6. 6.

   Evaluate how combining IMUs with vision sensors would improve a drone's navigation in adverse weather conditions.

   Hint

   Think about how IMUs would assist when the drone's view is obstructed.
