Working sensors are real hard to make as to properly magically code up eyes and ears would require intimate knowledge of how those work on a physical level. This means that most golems have to be given commands by either a person who can cast spells to trigger different behaviors in the golem or remote controls that have buttons that cause the golem to do certain things. Note a remote could easily be stolen and limits the total number of actions the golem can perform | |
