Sensors & actuators
This Chapter contains descriptions of the sensors and actuators (physical principles, raw signal processing, etc.) that are commonly used in many engineering domains:
-
Force sensing: 1D, 3D and 6D force sensors, via strain gauges, piezos, wrist sensors, optical deformation measurements, …
-
Vision: camera hardware, image acquisition, low-level image filters, feature detection and tracking, stereo vision, …
-
Range sensing: acoustic, optical, inductive and capacitive sensors, 2D/3D scanners, low-level sensor processing, …
-
Electrical motors: AC/DC/…, actuator dynamics, rotational and linear, power and energy issues, …
