Some of the Innovations Profiled Include Flexible Temperature Sensors, Biosensor for Glucose Level Monitoring, and Graphene Biosensor for Human Vital Sign Monitoring
This issue of the Sensor Technology Opportunity Engine (TOE) covers sensor advancements in 3D metrology scanning, laser scanning precision, inertial, chemical sensing, robotic sensors, submersible fluorescence sensors and biosensors. Some of the innovations profiled include flexible temperature sensors, biosensor for glucose level monitoring, graphene biosensor for human vital sign monitoring, submersible sensor for monitoring water pollution, and robotic sensors.
The TOE captures global sensor-related innovations and developments on a monthly basis. Innovations are directed toward developing smart and intelligent sensors with functionalities beyond sensing. Research focus areas include: low power sensors (energy harvesting), industrial automation sensors (M2M, vision sensor), ubiquitous sensor (WSN, sensor fusion), smart sensors (wearables, quantified self), high sensitivity and smaller size (MEMS, nanosensors), and improved security (CBRNE, terahertz). The need for low power, smaller, lighter sensors with enhanced performance attributes and minimal false alarms is driving innovations in the sensors space.
The Sensors and Instrumentation cluster covers innovations pertaining to technologies such as wireless sensors and networks, energy harvesting, haptics and touch, MEMS and nanosensors, Terahertz, ubiquitous/smart sensors, CBRNE, quantified-self, sensor fusion, M2M communications, and drones.
