IT & Software → Robotics → Sensors and Actuators → Introduction to Sensors and Actuators

Overview

Sensors and actuators are essential components in robotics. Sensors detect changes in the environment, like light or temperature, and send this information to the robot's brain. Actuators, on the other hand, are responsible for moving parts of the robot based on the commands they receive. Understanding how these devices work helps in building smarter and more efficient robots.
