Abstract: With the rapid development of the information age, human beings have higher and higher requirements for the perception of the natural environment. Sensors are the extension of human senses. If we want to discover more natural phenomena, we can't do it without the help of sensors. This paper mainly introduces the development history of sensors, and then briefly describes the definition of sensors as well as the main structure of sensors, and then mainly introduces the classification of sensors and some typical sensor working principle and the scope of application of them and advantages and disadvantages of these sensors. Finally, we mainly introduce some sensors combined with new technologies, including fiber optic sensors, integrated sensors and smart sensors, and introduce the main principles and working characteristics of these sensors.
