"This book starts by teaching the basic electronic circuits to read and react to a sensor. It then goes on to show how to use Arduino to develop sensor systems, and wraps up by teaching how to build sensor projects with the Linux-powered Raspberry Pi."--Publisher.

Young readers will discover how self-driving cars work, how they move safely about the road, and how these amazing innovations have evolved from the automobile as we know it.

"Robots dont have senses, but they do have sensors that enable them to interact with their environment. This book describes the many kinds of sensors, how they work, and how to use them to get your robot to do what you want. There is also an example of the way sensors are used to get machines to perform complex tasks"--Amazon.com.

Have you ever seen lights turn on automatically when you step into a restroom? Or have you ever wondered how a garage door knows not to close when someone is standing beneath it? What these and countless other electronic devices have in common is a sensor. But how do sensors work? What are they used for? Discover how robotic and electronic sensors can be programmed to work as our five senses do, and learn how they are used to save energy, keep us safe, and sometimes make life a little more convenient!.

Learn how to use sensors to control a robot's movements in Mindstorms, from following lines to recognizing obstacles.

Find out how to use the Mindstorms brick and display, and learn how to have a robot tell light from dark and to sense touch.

Discusses the history of electronic devices and shares a selection of electronics projects that use LEDs and sensors.

"Students will unlock the mysteries of electronics, sensors, and LEDs with this book as it provides both technical information and step-by-step projects."--Publisher.
