Sensors: Measurement and Dynamic Characteristics

This lecture covers the different types of sensors used in robotics, focusing on the human sensory system and how robots can mimic these characteristics. It explains the dynamic characteristics of sensors, including first and second-order systems, frequency response, resonance, and harmonic response. The lecture also delves into differential equations, Laplace transforms, and the frequency response of sensors. Additionally, it discusses the behavior of sensors in response to different input signals, such as sharp jumps and ramps. Examples of first and second-order systems, as well as system resonance and damping factors, are explored in detail.
