8.11.1. Sensor Calibration

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is static calibration?

   Hint

   Think about how we measure known quantities against sensor outputs.

2. 2.

   What does dynamic calibration measure?

   Hint

   Consider different situations where a sensor operates.

3. 3.

   What is the purpose of static calibration?

   • To establish sensor-output relationships
   • To make routine checks
   • To share data

   Hint

   What is a fundamental purpose of calibration?

4. 4.

   True or False: Dynamic Calibration is only required when environmental conditions are stable.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider whether sensors are always used in stable environments.

5. 5.

   Design a scenario involving multiple sensors with environmental shifts that requires both dynamic and static calibrations.

   Hint

   Think of how conditions change rapidly in a working environment.

6. 6.

   Develop a flowchart for an auto-calibration algorithm used in a robotic arm's sensor system.

   Hint

   Visualize the steps involved in periodic checks for accuracy.
