Efficient time synchronization of sensor networks by means of time series analysis (Sensors) Posted by: Site Administration
For decades, researchers have been working on improving sensor networks. A key design goal is to keep the cost of individual sensors (such as cameras and thermometers) as low as possible to enable large networks with thousands of linked sensors. This entails a disadvantage: Low-priced sensors have limited energy and computing capacities. Therefore, methods designed to make the most of limited resources are of crucial importance. posted: 31/01/2017 Full Posting & Permanant Link
Uber to share data to help ease city congestion (Sensors) Posted by: Site Administration

Electronic 'hairy skin' could give robots a more human sense of touch (Sensors) Posted by: Site Administration
Electronic-skin prototypes are stretchy, thin films that can sense temperature, pressure and even monitor blood oxygen or alcohol levels. But most of these devices are missing a key feature of real skin that allows us to feel a wider range of conditions: hair. Now researchers have combined hair-like wires with electronic skin to make a more versatile sensor for robots, prosthetics and other applications. Their report appears in the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. posted: 23/12/2016 Full Posting & Permanant Link
