Question Answer
Temperature sensors: They detect the change in the temperature and adjusts to them. Light: The light sensor enables a robot to detect light. Robots can be programmed to have a specific reaction if a certain amount of light is detected. Pressure sensor: A pressure sensor measures pressure, typically of gases and liquids. Moisture: A moisture sensor detects moisture or wetness. A soil moisture sensor detects the moisture in the soil and whether it needs more or less moisture.
Water-Level sensor: Water level sensors detect the level of water that flows. The measurement can either be continuous or can be in point values. Movement sensors: The movement or motion sensors detect an intruder inside houses or they check if there is any movement. If there is then alarms are sounded. Proximity sensors: Proximity sensors detect the presence of objects without physical contact. Switch or button sensors: This sensor detects switches and whether the switches or button are being opened and closed to.
Light bulb actuators: Creates light Heater actuators: Increases temperature. Cooling unit actuators: Decreases temperature. Motor Actuators: Spins things around. Pump Actuators: Pushes water/air through pipes. Buzzer/bell/siren Actuators: Creates noise.
