Sensors
Subcategory covering general sensor components used for measuring, detecting, and perceiving the environment or system state.
Sensors is a broad subcategory of hardware components responsible for collecting data from a robot's environment, mechanisms, and electronic systems. It encompasses distance, position, pressure, temperature, voltage, current, contact, and numerous other sensor types. This subcategory applies when a component is sensory in nature but does not belong to a more specific group such as LiDAR or Vision Components.
