● Write the main function of the following sensors, and describe in your own words how
it works?
Sensor Main Function How Does it Work?
Color Sensor Detect the color, or intensity, "In Color Mode, the Color Sensor recognizes
seven colors—black, blue, green, yellow, red,
of light that enters the small white, and brown—plus No Color. This ability to
differentiate between colors makes your robot
might be programmed to sort colored balls or
window
blocks, speak when red colors are detected, or
stop action when it sees red.
In Reflected Light Intensity Mode, the Color
Sensor measures the intensity of light reflected
back from a red light-emitting lamp. The sensor
uses a scale of 0 (very dark) to 100 (very light).
This means your robot might be programmed to
move around on a white surface until a black line
is detected, or to interpret a color-coded
identification card.
In Ambient Light Intensity Mode, the Color
Sensor measures the strength of light that enters
the window from its environment, such as
sunlight or the beam of a flashlight. The sensor
uses a scale of 0 (very dark) to 100 (very light).
This means your robot might be programmed to
set off an alarm when the sun rises in the
morning, or stop action if the lights go out."
Touch Sensor It enables a device or object to When the button touched it can stop the
detect touch robot, or when its released or when its
bumped
Ultrasonic Sensor The ultrasonic enables the It operates based on the same scientific
robot to see and recognize principle as bats, measuring distance by
objects, avoid obstacles, calculating the time taken for a sound wave
measure distances, and detect to hit an object and return, similar to an
movement. echo.
