Sensor and algorithm fusion is playing an increasing role in many application domains. As detection and recognition problems become more complex and costly (for example, landmine detection and automatic target recognition), it is apparent that no single source of information can provide the ultimate solution. However, complementary information can be derived from multiple sources. Given a set o...

Soft and stretchable tactile sensors have received extensive attention for their potential applications in wearables, human–robot interaction, intelligent robots. Herein, inspired by the functions of skin somatosensory signal generation processing, an artificial intelligence-motivated skin-like optical fiber (SOFT) sensor is proposed. It features multifunctional touch interaction capabilities i...

We present preliminary experiments of an aerial deployment system for environmental sensors with autorotative soft-landing. Key problems associated with this task are discussed, including design of the sensor modules, release mechanism and telemetry system. We evaluate performance of the initial proof-of-concept system and show that this approach to sensor deployment is viable.

The main magnetic characteristics regarding the domain structure and magnetization processes (axial, circular and Matteucci and inverse Wiedemann effects) of amorphous wires and glass-coated microwires are analysed. Magnetic bistability, spontaneously observed in samples with large enough ratio magneto-elastic anisotropy with axial easy axis to shape anisotropy, is the main source for a number ...

In this paper, a new electrochemical sensor was reported for the determination of amaranth in drink soft. sensor, activated carbon-Co3O4 nanocomposite (AC-Co3O4) employ­ed as electrode modifying materials. The introduction high pores to carbon not only can favor more molecules adsorbed surface working through pores, but also may benefit fast electron diffusion electro­chemical detection process...
