  2. Passive infrared sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_infrared_sensor

    A passive infrared sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view. They are most often used in PIR-based motion detectors . PIR sensors are commonly used in security alarms and automatic lighting applications.

  3. Occupancy sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupancy_sensor

    Occupancy sensor types include: PIR sensors, which work on heat difference detection, measuring infrared radiation.Inside the device is a pyroelectric sensor which can detect the sudden presence of objects (such as humans) who radiate a temperature different from the temperature of the background, such as the room temperature of a wall.

  4. Motion detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_detector

    A motion detector attached to an outdoor, automatic light. A motion detector is an electrical device that utilizes a sensor to detect nearby motion (motion detection).Such a device is often integrated as a component of a system that automatically performs a task or alerts a user of motion in an area.

  6. Velocity receiver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity_receiver

    Velocity receivers differ from position and acceleration sensors in terms of what they measure and how they are used. Position sensors measure the location of an object, while acceleration sensors measure the rate of change of velocity. Velocity sensors provide real-time speed information, often used to track or control movement accurately.

  7. Nondispersive infrared sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondispersive_infrared_sensor

    A nondispersive infrared sensor (or NDIR sensor) is a simple spectroscopic sensor often used as a gas detector.It is non-dispersive in the fact that no dispersive element (e.g a prism or diffraction grating as is often present in other spectrometers) is used to separate out (like a monochromator) the broadband light into a narrow spectrum suitable for gas sensing.

  8. Robotic sensors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robotic_sensors

    Sensors provide analogs to human senses and can monitor other phenomena for which humans lack explicit sensors. Simple Touch: Sensing an object's presence or absence. Complex Touch: Sensing an object's size, shape and/or hardness. Simple Force: Measuring force along a single axis. Complex Force: Measuring force along multiple axes.

  9. Proportional–integral–derivative controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional–integral...

    If a velocity loop PID controller is being used to control the speed of the load and command the force being applied by the actuator, then it is beneficial to take the desired instantaneous acceleration, scale that value appropriately and add it to the output of the PID velocity loop controller.
