There are many types of object detection sensors available on the market. Some of them, such as limit switches, require direct contact with the object. Others, such as proximity sensors, need to be in close physical range but do not make contact with the object. Still others can detect objects from much further distances; examples include photoelectric, laser and ultrasonic sensors.
