Sensors
One of the main characteristic of a robot is to perceive the world around him and also to obtain information on himself. These proprioceptive data and the information it retrieves on what surrounds it, the robot will use it to move and to manipulate its environment ... The degree of autonomy of the robot is dependent on the program and algorithms that were provided to him and underlying information from its sensors.
In this category you will find the sensors that you need to give your robot so that your program can make your 'intelligent' robot can. Many sensors are available here.

You want to move your Pixy 2 camera sensor on 2 axes of movement ? With its two servomotors and fixed base, the pan/tilt kit will meet your expectations ! Arduino compatible.
Ultra precise and extremely versatile, the Temperature Humidity Pressure Sensor created by Bosch and marketed by Adafruit provides everything you’ll need to create the ultimate weather station.
The ZX distance and gesture sensor is able to measure the position of your hand along 2 axis (horizontal and vertical). Low volume, it can fit into all your projects.
The 811027001 High-Accuracy Barometer is a Grove-compatible module allowing you to measure barometric pressure, altitude and temperature.
This Makeblock module combines a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer that are compatible with the Arduino programming boards.
The Flex Sensor 4.5”, compatible with Aruduino Uno, was said to be inside the original Nintendo’s Power Glove, released in 1989, pretty cool!
The Me Ultrasonic Sensor v3 is the new and improved version of the Makeblock v2. More stable and more efficient, it comes with a complete Arduino library.
The SparkFun OpenPIR is the Passive Infrared (PIR) open-source sensor of choice in proximity-sensing applications. It offers numerous possibilities in terms of settings for a highly customisable control.
Are you trying to create a DIY electronic mini-scale? This load cell - 500 g is the perfect tool for that!
The SparkFun 1643 board is designed for use as a base for the Honeywell HIH-4030 humidity sensor. It delivers an analogue output voltage proportional to the humidity measured by the sensor making it easy to interpret.
The Grove SEN51035P module is a professional-quality temperature and humidity sensor equipped with an NTC thermistor and a capacitive sensor with a digital output.
Easy to use, this load cell can convert weights up to 5 kg into an electrical signal. You can get rid of your scale!
The DMS-80 distance sensors offers to your Bioloid or Dynamixel mobile robots to measure distances and therefore to detect obstacles.
This load cell enables you to weigh objects of up to 10 g by translating physical pressure into an electrical resistance.
The SEN-12787 module by SparkFun combines 4 sensors, detecting gestures, colour, light and proximity, which you can control from your 3.3V microcontroller to design a project that responds to your every movement!
This 5-pin cable designed for the UM7, the small module from Redshift Labs, is available in one-way and two-way versions!
