Special Issue Introduction
With the rapid development of communication technology and the rapid growth of mobile devices, the Internet of Things (IoT) will be ubiquitous in every corner of our daily life. A sensor is a device that can convert a specific physical quantity (such as light, sound, pressure, temperature, vibration, humidity, speed, acceleration, the presence of a specific chemical composition or gas, motion, the presence of dust particles, etc.) into electrical signals. When the sensor senses and sends information, the actuator is activated and begins to function. The actuator receives the signal and sets its desired action so that it can take action in the environment.
An intelligent sensor refers to an intelligent sensor device that can perceive, collect, and independently judge, analyze and process external environmental information. Smart sensors are multi-component integrated circuits with functions of information acquisition, processing, exchange, storage and transmission. They are system-level devices that integrate sensors, communication modules, microprocessors, drivers and interfaces, and software algorithms. Diagnostic and self-compensating capabilities, as well as sensory fusion and flexible communication capabilities.
The rapid growth and popularization of the Internet of Things has driven the strong demand for smart sensors. This special issue focuses on the application scenarios of the Internet of Things to discuss the technology trends of smart sensors in each application field. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
● Application of sensors in smart wearables
● Applications of sensors in smart home
● Artificial intelligence based wireless sensors network
● Sensor Applications in Smart Cities
● The role of sensors in intelligent transportation
● Application of Wireless Sensor Network in Smart Grid
● Sound Anomaly and Vibration Measurements in Smart Buildings based on sensors
● Sensor design methods guided by plant propagation process or plant growth
● Plant protection techniques using sensor networks
● Healthcare based on sensors
● Sensors network for environmental monitoring
● Collection and analysis of sensor data in intelligent manufacturing
