Sensing and Actuation
Everything related to how robots perceive the world and move in it. Sensors, motors, drivers, and low level integration.
What is this category for?
- Sensor selection, calibration, and data quality
- Actuator and motor control, including drivers and power issues
- Physical layer integration and diagnostics
What belongs here?
Questions about cameras, LiDAR, IMUs, encoders, and other sensors
Motor drivers, servos, torque and speed problems
Wiring, connectors, communication buses, and grounding issues
Filtering, sensor fusion, and dealing with noise in raw signals
What does not belong here?
- Pure algorithm discussions that do not touch hardware (use Planning and Control)
- Abstract module architecture without hardware detail (use Module Design)
- Deployment case stories (use Case Sharing)
Here are some things you can do in this category:
Share your hardware setup with photos and diagrams.
Ask for help debugging noisy data or unstable actuators.
Share tips on calibration, wiring, protection, and safety practices.
Whenever possible, include part numbers, datasheets, and wiring diagrams. This will make it easier for others to reproduce and understand your setup.
