With the release of more and more popular sci-fi movies, all kinds of magical robots and aircraft are very popular among young people. In recent years, consumer-grade drones and home robots have emerged as an emerging hot industry and are highly sought after in the global high-tech project market. The high-tech tools that were once seen on the screen are getting closer and closer to the lives of ordinary people. According to experts' prediction, by 2018, the global drone market will climb to more than $1 billion.
In the control of drones and robots, sensors play a crucial role. In recent years, the global sensor market has maintained steady growth, and currently it is mainly used in industrial automatic detection, automatic control systems and the automotive industry. With the development of industries such as drones and robots, the sensor industry will also form a larger market.
In the UAV flight control system, high-precision sensor components are generally installed, which are mainly composed of components such as a gyroscope for flight attitude sensing, an acceleration sensor, and a pressure sensor. The function of the sensor is Accurately sense and calculate the flight attitude and other data of the aircraft to achieve precise control of the flight and hover of the drone. Similarly, sensors are also a key element of the emerging robotics revolution. It is precisely because of the application of the sensor technology that robots have similar human perception and responsiveness. Generally, a visual sensor, a force sensor, a proximity sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, and an auditory sensor are installed on the robot, so that the complicated work can be more fully performed and more intelligent.
The sensor is the hardware foundation of the environment perception. Compared with the environment-aware system, the sensor industry chain will take the lead. We are witnessing the vitality and potential of the drone and robotics market and its demand for sensor technology. According to statistics, at present, the market for UAV and robot-specific sensors is 351 million US dollars, and it is expected to reach 709 million US dollars by 2021, with a compound annual growth rate of 12.4%. At present, some mature markets, such as the automotive industry, have also been joined by the innovators in the emerging UAV applications. The emergence of Google and Apple's driverless cars has caused people's heated discussion and interest, precisely because of these new application areas. The emergence of a strong need for sensor technology has created a virtuous circle. It is foreseeable that the sensor industry will have a broader market in the future.
