Definition
Advanced sensors collecting data for IoT applications
Technologies
MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) sensors detect motion, pressure, and sound in millimeter-scale packages. Optical sensors measure light intensity, color, and proximity. Chemical sensors detect gases, humidity, and pollutants. Biosensors measure biological analytes (glucose, lactate, cortisol). LiDAR creates 3D maps using laser pulses. Quantum sensors offer unprecedented sensitivity for magnetic and gravitational measurements.
Applications
MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes enable smartphone orientation and motion tracking. Environmental sensors monitor air quality, temperature, and humidity in buildings and cities. Continuous glucose monitors track blood sugar without finger pricks. LiDAR sensors create 3D perception for autonomous vehicles.
