In automation technology, optical or optoelectronic or light sensors are devices that can detect objects using light and are capable of triggering switching, control and regulation functions. The large selection of modules, displays and sensors in our online shop for electronic components also includes optical sensors that you can use to teach your electronics project to see - a very challenging task for a robot. For example, a machine can learn to distinguish colours and shapes in its immediate surroundings with the help of an integrated camera. For these and many other application examples, we at EXP Tech have various optical sensors available for you and rely on the proven quality of manufacturers such as Sparkfun or Seeed Studio.
