These serve as the "senses." Essential topics include encoders for position tracking, thermistors for temperature monitoring, and strain gauges for force measurement. Jouaneh emphasizes how to interface these sensors with electronic circuits.

Use Jouaneh as your primary systems text. Complement it with datasheets (from Texas Instruments, Microchip, etc.) for real-world component details.

: Explains static and dynamic performance characteristics of sensors used for measuring speed, force, torque, and strain.
