SENSORS

Sensors covers a very large area.  These are many kinds of different sensors and sensors come in many different sizes.   Sensors normally are the different interface between the controlling computer and the rest of the world.  Therefore, sensors would be used to interface anything in this world to the computer.  The list of sensor types is almost endless.  This means that we must look for sensor types that fix in the animation scheme.  

We would like our physical animation to be able to "see", "hear", and "have movement control" to menson a few possible requirements.  Therefore, these are the first three areas of investigation.  Of course, these areas will led into other areas and so on.

      sensors that can see

      sensors that can hear

      sensors that control movement

      sensors used in navigation

      Transducers
