  • Sensors and the Environment

    Ian Chow-Miller

    Library Binding (Cavendish Square Publishing, Jan. 1, 2017)
    Robots don't have senses, but they do have sensors that enable them to interact with their environment. This book describes the many kinds of sensors, how they work, and how to use them to get your robot to do what you want. There is also an example of the way sensors are used to get machines to perform complex tasks.
