Description
This course will introduce the fundamental issues of sensing and various sensor technologies including motion sensors, velocity sensors, GPS sensors, acoustic sensors, light and image sensors, and range sensors. The course will also demonstrate sensor technologies using a system approach to show how they can be integrated into a complete digital system.
