Sensors, Motors and other Devices

The sensors, motors and other devices used on robots are also useful in many other applications. For example, quadrature encoders used on robots are commonly used in printers. The same applies to stepper motors, photo-sensors, contact switches and etc. This course can be project-based so that the product is a small robot that uses a number of devices discussed in the class. The robot can use a canned program so the course (offered by Electronics Technology) focuses on electronics.
