Robotic Sensors, a Symphony of Integration

摘要

The term "robot" conjures up images from myriad science fiction movies, usually of robots trying to destroy humanity. So far, we are safe, at least for the time being. Our present-day robotics technology is creating some clever machines and useful tools, but thankfully, we are still in control. But what we are in control of is evolving at a rapid rate. The availability of low-cost high-performance processors and peripheral systems is letting us run more sophisticated algorithms for sensing, filtering, extracting useful signals, and precisely controlling motion, temperature, pressure, acceleration, force, intensity, and many more physical effects we can monitor and control.
