Sensors: A Comprehensive Overview

Introduction
Sensors are devices that detect changes in the
environment and convert these changes into signals
that can be measured or analyzed. They play a crucial
role in modern technology, enabling various
applications in industries, healthcare, automation, and
everyday life. This report provides an overview of
sensor types, control systems, their uses, disadvantages,
and concludes with their importance.
Types of Sensors

Sensors are categorized based on the physical or
chemical property they measure. Common types
include:
- **Temperature Sensors**: Measure heat energy or
temperature.
- **Pressure Sensors**: Detect force exerted on a
surface.
- **Proximity Sensors**: Sense the presence of objects
without physical contact.
- **Light Sensors**: Measure light intensity.
- **Motion Sensors**: Detect movement in a given area.
- **Chemical Sensors**: Identify and measure chemical
properties.
- **Gas Sensors**: Monitor and measure gas
concentrations.
Control Systems for Sensors
