Sensor technology drives the development of the robotics industry

With the development of automation and intelligence, robots have become more and more widely used in the industry and their status has become increasingly important. Robots incorporating technologies in various fields such as machinery, electronics, sensors, computers, artificial intelligence, etc., have increasingly become an advantageous support for the development of the intelligent manufacturing equipment industry.

In recent years, sensor technology has been rapidly developed, and the technology has also become more sophisticated. This has, to some extent, promoted the development of robotics technology. The innovation and progress of sensor technology is bound to bring innovation and progress to the robotics industry. Because many functions of the robot are realized by sensors.

The robot's own working status, the robot's intelligent detection of the external working environment, and the status of the objects all require the use of an important sensor component. At the same time, the sensor can also sense the specified measurement and convert it into a usable output signal according to a certain rule.

Currently, many types of sensors, such as touch sensors, vision sensors, tilt sensors (or tilt modules), force sensors, perceptual sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and auditory sensors, have been commonly used in robots. These sensors make the robot more sensory, enabling more complex analysis and better completion of work, greatly improving the robot's working conditions.

With the continuous development of sensors, the emergence of combined sensors is combined with multiple sensors such as vision, hearing, pressure sensing, thermal sensation, and force sensing to form a smaller, lighter, and more functional sensor. The application of the sensor in the robot design makes the robot have a more sensitive sensory system and can better respond to the external environment and complete the work.
