Overview

Sensors are special tools that help robots and machines understand the world around them. They can detect things like light, sound, temperature, and movement. By using sensors, robots can make decisions and react to their environment. This makes them smarter and more helpful in different tasks. Learning about sensors is important for building and programming robots that can interact with people and objects safely.
