Accurately sensing the environment in smart factories and automation systems requires a range of environmental sensors.

Other digital pressure gages use pistons, vibrating elements, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), or thin film to sense changes in pressure. Some devices use piezoelectric sensors to measure ...

A transducer is also a sensor but a transducer always converts the non-electric pressure signal into an electrical signal. Therefore, a transducer is always a sensor but a sensor is not always a ...

Similar to the human skin, the pressure sensor−based electronic skin detects slight pressure, so it is used across many different applications, including wearable devices, medical monitoring devices, ...

Electronic pressure sensors measure pressure using a force collector to measure the strain due to an applied force over an area. The change in electrical resistivity of a semiconductor or metal is ...

[imsolidstate] built his own pressure sensitive mat. It utilizes two discs of copper clad board with a piece of foam in between for each of 64 sensors ... with an analog to digital converter.

Prior knowledge needed: ECEA 5340 Sensors and Sensor Circuit Design and ECEA 5341 Motors and Motor Control Circuits. Understand how to specify the proper pressure, force, strain, position, motion, ...
