Sensors and Navigation

Sensors are devices that detect and measure specific physical properties, such as light, temperature, or motion, and convert this information into signals that can be interpreted by a system or device. In navigation, these sensors help determine the position and direction of vehicles, airplanes, or smartphones. Common examples include GPS (Global Positioning System), which uses satellites to provide location, and accelerometers, which track movement. Together, sensors and navigation technology enable accurate travel, guiding us from one location to another efficiently, whether by land, air, or sea, enhancing safety and convenience in everyday journeys.
