Innovations in Wearable Optical Sensing, Sensors for Methane Emission Detection, Moisture Content in Soil Detection, and More
This Sensor Technology Opportunity Engine (TOE) issue covers innovations in wearable optical sensing, sensors for methane emission detection, moisture content in soil detection, autonomous car sensors, motion sensing, laminar flow monitoring, waterproof barometric pressure sensors, and tactile sensors.
The Sensor 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.
