Sensors

• Robots can of course have all the senses that we have.
• In particular, there has been a lot of work on vision .
• There's also work on tactile sensors, sound, smell, and taste, though with vision, touch, and hearing speech at least, these can't do everything people can.
• However, sensors are not limited to human sensing.
• A very common sensor is to use GPS. The first time it was used at the AAAI robotics computation, the group won.
• Robots also use range sensors including sonar, laser, and lidar (light detection and ranging).
• Inertia and force sensors are also useful for controlling the robot's movements.
