Sensors
Sensors are the perceptual organs of a robotic system. They convert physical phenomena — acceleration, distance, force, rotation — into electrical signals that a microcontroller can process. Without sensors, AI agents are blind.
IMU Sensor (MPU-6050)
An inertial measurement unit combines a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope in one IC. It is the primary sensor for measuring motion, orientation, vibration, and tilt in robotic and embedded systems.
Ultrasonic Sensor (HC-SR04)
Distance measurement via sound echo — obstacle detection
In progress
Piezo Sensor
Vibration and impact detection using piezoelectric effect
In progress
Load Cell + HX711
Precision force and weight measurement with 24-bit ADC
In progress
IR Sensor
Infrared line-following and proximity detection
In progress
Rotary Encoder
Precise position and velocity measurement for motors
In progress
Sensors → Perception
In the embodied AI pipeline, sensors feed the perception layer. Mastering sensor fusion — combining IMU, encoder, and force data — is essential for any robot that must model its own physical state.
