A motion sensor is an electronic device designed to detect movement within its surroundings by sensing changes in the environment, such as variations in infrared radiation, sound waves, or microwaves, triggered by moving objects or individuals. These sensors are typically integrated into electronic devices or systems to automate tasks, enhance security measures, conserve energy, or improve overall convenience.

The primary types of motion sensors include micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers, MEMS gyroscopes, MEMS magnetometers, and sensor combinations. A MEMS accelerometer is a miniature device that measures acceleration, which signifies the rate of change of velocity or movement. Various technologies utilized in motion sensors encompass infrared detection, microwave detection, tomographic detection, ultrasonic detection, and others. Motion sensors can function in fully automatic or semi-automatic modes. These devices find application across various end-user industries such as consumer electronics, automotive, healthcare, aerospace and defense, smart home systems, and others.
