Robotics Tutorials
Sensing & Perception
Explore the full spectrum of robotic sensing — from interoceptive joint encoders and IMUs that measure a robot's own state, to exteroceptive cameras, LIDAR, and force sensors that perceive the surrounding world. Understand the physical principles, specifications, and fusion strategies that underpin modern robot perception systems.
