8.1.1. Based on Measured Quantity

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is a position sensor?

   Hint

   Think of its primary function in robotics.

2. 2.

   Name one type of temperature sensor.

   Hint

   These detect thermal conditions.

3. 3.

   What type of sensor measures the speed of rotation?

   • Accelerometer
   • Tachometer
   • Proximity Sensor

   Hint

   Think about which sensor relates to changing speed.

4. 4.

   True or False: Proximity sensors require physical contact to measure distance.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Recall how these sensors function.

5. 5.

   Design a robotic system that effectively uses at least three different types of sensors to navigate and perform a task. Explain how each sensor contributes to the robot's functioning.

   Hint

   Consider a scenario like autonomous delivery in a warehouse.

6. 6.

   Analyze the effects of sensor error on robotic performance. Discuss how you would mitigate such errors in a design.

   Hint

   Think about calibration routines and feedback mechanisms.
