Describe four advantages and four disadvantages of a semicon

Describe four advantages and four disadvantages of a semiconductor strain gage weight sensor. A weight
sensor is used in a robotic wrist. What would be the purpose of this sensor? How can the information obtained
from the weight sensor be used in controlling the robotic manipulator?

Solution

advantages of semiconductor strain guage weight sensor:

disadvantages of a semiconductor strain guage weight sensor

-Strain gauges are sensors which are used in variety of physical measurements. They change resistance when they are stretched or compressed. Because of this property, strain gauges often are bonded to a solid surface and used for measuring acceleration, pressure, tension and force. We can use the measurement of tension to determine the weight applied to the load cell.

-the information obtained from weight sensor is used to measure different weights to be lifted by the robotic manipulator
