Sensor Selection for Robotic Platform

Knowledge of the driving environment is an essential prerequisite for an autonomous machine to perform its intended task. The autonomous and automated machines receive the essential knowledge of the environment via different sensors. In fact, the sensors act as a sensory organ for the robot to receive information similar to the five primary senses in the human being (Svechtarova et al., 2016) e.g., visual, tactile, auditory, taste and smell. The robot can have sensors in all these sensing ranges except taste.
