IoT Actuators and Sensors

On December 6, 2019 in All, IoT, Robotics, Sensors by Charles Byers

IoT relies on actuators and sensors to interface with the physical world. This blog discusses some common actuator and sensor types, the control systems that link them, calibration, fault tolerance, security, power efficiency, and related topics. A real-world example of a tea-brewing robot is given.
