Category Pressure Sensors

A pressure sensor in robotics measures the force exerted on an object or surface. It detects changes in pressure and provides feedback to the robot, helping it understand how much force is applied, such as when gripping an object or maintaining balance. This is important for tasks requiring precision, like handling fragile items or controlling robotic limbs.

Important: A pressure sensor and a force sensor are similar but not exactly the same.
