Different types of haptic feedback require an acquisition of environmental data by different kinds of haptic sensors. Most commonly, force torque sensors in the wrists or other joints of the robot are used. In addition, tactile input is achieved by sensor matrices based on various physical working principles. Sometimes, data inputs of depth perception and surface perception have to be combined to achieve an optimal haptic sensing. 1, record 1, English, - haptic%20sensor

Un capteur passif ne fait que recevoir l'énergie naturellement réfléchie par les objets présents dans la scène. Plusieurs capteurs passifs sont utilisés pour la robotique ou pour la surveillance : les capteurs inertiels(détection de vibrations, de mouvement), les capteurs haptiques(contact), mais les plus connus sont les capteurs visuels [...] 1, record 1, French, - capteur%20haptique

Fishing gears are ... classified in two main categories: passive and active ... based on the relative behaviour of the target species and the fishing gear. With passive gears, the capture of fish is generally based on [the] movement of the target species towards the gear (e.g. traps), while with active gears, capture is generally based on an aimed chase of the target species (e.g. trawls, dredges). 4, record 2, English, - fishing%20gear
