Sensor are instruments that provide robots data of the surrounding environment such light, heat, sound, motion, magnetism, pressure (just to name a few). Sensors can also be used to provide robots with positioning (distance, location, etc) or orientation data (is the robot on uneven ground, laying on a side or upside down).
