Compound Force: detect forces along multiple directions.
Proximity: non-contact detection of objects. Simple Vision: detect feature such as holes, lines, and corners. Compound Vision: recognition of object.

2．Relative Angle Sensor
In this approach, no matter the clockwise (CW) rotation, or counter-clockwise (CCW) rotation, output of the sensing light always alternate between H and L, so we can not get the direction of rotation.

2．Relative Angle Sensor
Adding another sensor (B) 1/4 cycle away from sensor A. Typically, when clockwise (CW) rotation, signal A changes before B, vice versa.

6.2.3 Attitude Sensors 姿态传感器
Attitude sensors are used to detect the relative relationship between the robot and ground. When the robot is fixed (just as the majority of industrial robot), there is no need to install such sensors. Attitude sensors are essential for mobile robots. Attitude sensors detect moving changes in position and orientation of the robot that can be used to control the robot implement desired instruction.
External state
Localize the robot to the environment, deal with the detection of variables such range, proximity, and touch.

6.2.1 Position/Displacement Sensors 位置传感器
A position sensor is any idea that permits position measurement. It can either be an absolute position sensor or a relative one (displacement sensor). Position sensors can be either linear or angular. Inductive Non-Contact Position Sensors, String Potentiometer, Linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) , Potentiometer, Capacitive transducer, Hall effect sensor, Proximity sensor (optical), Grating sensor, Rotary encoder (angular), Photodiode array, etc.
