PILZ sensors are used in robots to mimic tactile functions. Tactile sense is an important sensory function when humans directly interact with the external environment. Developing tactile sensors that meet requirements is one of the key technologies in robot development. With the development of microelectronics and the emergence of various organic materials, a variety of development plans for tactile sensors have been proposed, but most are currently at the laboratory stage, with few reaching commercialization. Tactile sensors can be roughly divided into contact sensors, force-torque sensors, pressure sensors, and slip sensors based on their functions.

PILZ sensor features

High-precision single-axis tilt angle sensors, based on capacitive 3D-MEMS technology, demonstrate excellent reliability, superior stability, and unprecedented high precision across the entire temperature range. The tilt angle sensor series is designed, produced, and tested according to the reliability and stability requirements of the automotive industry. The series of tilt angle sensors has significant load capacity and very good impact durability, without requiring additional components. The tilt sensor is part of the analog acceleration sensor product line and is fully compatible with acceleration sensors. The tilt sensor can adjust the output frequency and has built-in zero adjustment. A zero adjustment button can be customized according to requirements to achieve the function of setting zero at a specific angle. This is very useful for occasions where relative tilt angles need to be measured; after use, it can return to the zero position. When using the tilt sensor in such applications, simply fix the sensor on a specific plane and use the zero button to clear the data before measurement. The data read by the sensor thereafter represents the relative tilt angle with respect to that plane.

PILZ sensor application areas

Using angle sensors to control your wheels can indirectly detect obstacles. The principle is very simple: if the motor is running but the gear is not turning, it indicates that your machine is blocked by an obstacle. This technology is very simple to use and highly effective; the only requirement is that the moving wheels must not slip on the floor (or slip too frequently), otherwise, you will not be able to detect obstacles. If an idling gear is connected to the motor, this problem can be avoided. This wheel is not driven by the motor but is driven by the movement of the device: during the rotation of the drive wheel, if the idler wheel stops, it indicates that you have encountered an obstacle. In many cases, angle sensors are very useful: controlling the position of arms, heads, and other movable parts. It is worth noting that when the operating speed is too slow or too fast, RCX will be affected in terms of precise detection and counting. In fact, the problem does not lie with RCX itself, but with its operating system. If the speed exceeds its specified range, RCX will lose some data. Steve Baker has proven through experiments that a rotational speed between 50 and 300 rpm is a suitable range, within which there will be no data loss issues. However, in the range below 12rpm or above 1400rpm, some data loss will occur. In the ranges of 12rpm to 50rpm or 300rpm to 1400rpm, RCX may also occasionally experience data loss issues.
