Summary
Robots require optical sensors to recognize and locate objects under various conditions. The principles, operation and performance of a correlation sensor are described, which performs the cognitive computations by processing the light rays emerging from the object to be handled. Its simplicity may render automatic acquisition of all three position coordinates and one angle economical for many new tasks.
