Sensors and types of sensors

Abstract

A sensor is a device that detects and measures different types of physical or chemical variables, such as temperature, light, distance, pressure, sound, etc.  and transform them into electrical signals to can be processed and analyzed by other devices. In This infographic will address the issue of sensors and types of sensors in which the main objective is to publicize and understand the operating principles and applications of sensors, as well as identify and analysed different types of sensors which can be analogy or digital, depending on the type of signal they generate, sensors can be combined with other devices, such as actuators, microcontrollers, wireless communications, etc., to create intelligent and autonomous systems, used in various industries and other areas such as medicine, robotics , transport, the environment, etc., are fundamental elements for technological and scientific development, since they allow obtaining information about the environment and controlling different processes and systems.  They are the building blocks of the connected world.  Sensors are essential devices for the progress and well-being of humanity.  Without them, many daily activities would be more difficult or impossible to perform.  Sensors help us better understand our environment and interact with it more efficiently and safely.
