hmmmm... these jump to mind:
Human "sensors":
a) global/positional(2D) Light Level
(also 3D because we move our head/eyes taking notice of
the sampling vector)
b) global/positional(stereo) Sound Frequency/Level
(might also be considered 3D because of head movement,
taking samples in diferent vectors)
c) Smell = natural low-resolution spectometry ???
d) positional Touch/Pressure Level
e) global/positional Temperature level
f) Humidity level
g) Vibration = high-sampling d)
h) fluid/air flow sensing = d)+e)+f)
i) Balance(3D) <- aided by k)
j) Motion sensing <- aided by a)+b)+c)+h)+i)+k)
k) Vision = high-resolution a) + image interpretation leading to:
l) Surrounding environment 3D mapping acting like a virtual "sensor"
...a bit like a natural GPS substitute to the important question:
"where am I ?" with the added bonus of "where are you all ?"
m) feedback from almost all actuators (muscles) we have
(Extremely important data !)
n) energy level ;) -> "Am I tired ? hungry ?"
Artificial, usually used in robotics
o) Positional analysis of all radiation spectrum
(ex: simple 1 touch pressure sensing, low/high vibration, infrared,
visible light, ultra-violet, RF, X ray, etc...)
p) ...combined with positional generation of these, leads to
Radar/Lidar/Sonar type of positional feedback analysis
q) Artificial positional data (beacon based. eg: GPS)
r) Actuators feedback (energy spent, % of action)
etc...
mc.

| Up for discussion. So, while discussing "the next big project," my ten year old and I tried to come up with a complete list of all the possible "signals" available at any one time that could be incorporated into a robot, whether practical, or (...) (22 years ago, 3-Apr-03, to lugnet.robotics)
