DESCRIPTION:

Sensors are devices that sense the presence or absence of objects. Sensors perform a number of functions in automated manufacturing and material handling systems. For example, sensors can determine if an object is present, if tooling is broken, or if product is running down a conveyor line.

Sensors have contributed significantly to recent advances in manufacturing technology. Using a sensor makes a process or system more automated and removes the need for human operators to monitor and control the situation.

• Accuracy: The agreement between the actual value and the measured value
• Resolution: The change in measured variable to which the sensor will respond
• Repeatability: Variation of sensor measurements when the same quantity is measured several times
• Range: Upper and lower limits of the variable that can be measured
• Sensitivity and Linearity

The basic operation and application of three major sensor categories:

• Limit Switches,
• Proximity Sensors
• Photoelectric Sensors

OBJECTIVE:

• To provide a means to help measuring several physical parameters in multiple points by autonomous robots able to navigate and climb structures, handling sensors or special non destructive testing equipment.
• To develop a surveillance robotic system able to detect leakages of fluids using vision system in the range of thermal and visible or/and gas sensors.
• Robotized non destructive testing of surface deterioration of equipment in extensive plants and detection of broken elements.
• Robotized non destructive testing of internal deterioration in pipes and walls of tanks, chimneys etc., from outside the element to be inspected.
• Ground robots able to navigate in large industrial plants handling sensors and manipulator for inspection and maintenance, and overcoming obstacles and terrain conditions.

BENEFITS:

A sensor can be thought of as an automatic switch. In a factory, a sensor can be used to detect a problem on the line and stop the line automatically. Or, in your home, a sensor could be used as a security device to detect an open window or door.
