Sensor, nk'ibifuniko by'ikoranabuhanga rigezweho, ni ikiraro kiri hagati yisi yumubiri nisi ya digitale. Barashobora kumva no guhindura ingano zitandukanye, nkubushyuhe, umuvuduko, ubukana bwumucyo, amajwi, ibibi, nibindi, gutanga amakuru yukuri kuri sisitemu. Mu gufata inganda, urugo rwubwenge, ubuzima bwubuvuzi, gukurikirana ibidukikije hamwe nizindi nzego nyinshi, sensor ifite uruhare adakosowe. Binyuze mu gukurikirana igihe nyacyo kandi gupima neza, sensor ifasha ibikoresho bigera ku kuyobora ubwenge, byerekana inzira z'umusaruro, kuzamura imibereho, no kurinda ibidukikije. Hamwe niterambere ryihuse rya interineti yibintu ikoranabuhanga, akamaro ka sensor nkuko iherezo ryimbere ryo kubona amakuru ryarushijeho kuba rimaze kugaragara, kandi ryabaye ikintu cyingenzi cyo guteza imbere inzira yubutasi.
