REQUIREMENTS OF SENSORS:

A sensor characteristics will determine the performance, economy, ease of

application, applicability of the sensors.

The sensor needs available are as follows:

1)Accuracy:
a)Accuracy is defined as how close the output of the sensor is to the expected value.

2)Reliability:
a)Reliability is the ratio of how many times a system operates properly divided by how many times it
tried.

3. Sensitivity:
a)Sensitivity is the ratio of a change in output in response to a change in input.

4. Linearity:
a)Linearity represents the relationship between the input variation and the output variation.

5. Range:
Range refers to the minimum and maximum change in input signal to which the sensor can respond.

6. Resolution:
Resolution is the minimum step size within the range of measurement of the sensor.

7. Response time:
Response time is the time that a sensor’s output requires to reach a certain percentage of the total
change.

8. Repeatability:
Repeatability is a measure of how varied the different outputs are relative to each other.

9. Calibration:
The sensor should be easy to calibrate.

10. Cost and ease of operation:


The cost to purchase, install and operate the sensor should be as low as possible.

*****Compare the working of servo-controlled and non-servo controlled robot with an example.
With an example distinguish between them. Which type of robot will be more suited for your
selected application. Justify your answer.

Most Suitable Robot:


 Servo-Controlled Robot is more suited for this application.
o Justification:
 The task involves variability in package size and position, requiring precision
and adaptability.
 The servo system can handle these challenges through feedback and
corrections, ensuring smooth and error-free operation.
 While more expensive, it offers higher reliability and efficiency for dynamic
tasks like sorting.
