A Treatise on Sensor Interfacing


Book Description

It is indubitably established verity that sensors revitalize the everyday life of a human being. The sensor technology in itself is a multidisciplinary and the researchers are striving hard to develop the smart sensors. The emerging ASICs their semicustom counterparts and the microcontroller based sensor interfaces are the pathways towards realizing the smart sensors. In this book, the authors have dealt with the microcontroller based sensor interfaces in depth. Exclusively written for the budding researchers in this field, the book presents know-how as regards to the various sensor interfacing techniques to microcontroller. The coverage is well supported by means of appropriate pseudo code, 'C' based code and so on. Authors have also referred the prior art from various research journals, web URLs and the same is placed for the benefit of the potential readers. The interfacing diagrams are meant for a generic microcontroller paradigm and needs customization when intended to be implemented in real life. The book is apt for the entire Electronics and sensor fraternity and is all set to arouse the interest of the researchers in this area of ever-increasing technological importance.




Advanced Interfacing Techniques for Sensors


Book Description

This book presents ways of interfacing sensors to the digital world, and discusses the marriage between sensor systems and the IoT: the opportunities and challenges. As sensor output is often affected by noise and interference, the book presents effective schemes for recovering the data from a signal that is buried in noise. It also explores interesting applications in the area of health care, un-obstructive monitoring and the electronic nose and tongue. It is a valuable resource for engineers and scientists in the area of sensors and interfacing wanting to update their knowledge of the latest developments in the field and learn more about sensing applications and challenges.

A Treatise on Good Robots


Book Description

This volume investigates the ways emerging technologies in the fields of robotics and bio-robotics are influencing society. It necessarily considers both philosophical and technological study of robots, including what it means for robots to exist as good and moral entities, and how they benefit humans and enhance their quality of life. Contributors address artificial intelligence and social functions as well as technical matters. Chapters are wide-ranging, and consider robots in science fiction; the need for designers to create moral robots; specific technology; and the development of biological robots. Also addressed are robotic technologies already enhancing human bodies, such as exoskeletons that allow paraplegics to walk. The contributors foresee robots becoming involved not only in mundane domestic tasks such as washing dishes, but also in providing health care to the disabled and companionship to the elderly. This volume offers exciting philosophical reflections that unveil new connections between robotics and praxiology and their practical applications.
