14.13.3. Tactile and Force Sensors

Try these first

1. 1.

   What do tactile sensors allow robots to do?

   Hint

   Think about the sense of touch.

2. 2.

   What is a primary function of force sensors?

   Hint

   Consider how we feel pressure.

3. 3.

   What is the primary function of tactile sensors in robotics?

   • To measure temperature
   • To detect pressure
   • To sense touch

   Hint

   Think about how we interact with our environment.

4. 4.

   Force sensors are essential for measuring pressure in robotic tasks. True or False?

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider their application.

5. 5.

   Analyze a real-life scenario where improper use of tactile or force sensors leads to a failure in construction.

   Hint

   Consider the consequences of misapplied pressure.

6. 6.

   Design a robotic system incorporating both tactile and force sensors for a specific construction task. Explain how they would work together.

   Hint

   Think about collaboration between the sensors.
