Book Description

Nature-Inspired Sensors presents and discusses the basic principles and latest developments in nature-inspired sensing and biosensing materials, along with the design and mechanisms for analyzing their potential in multifunctional sensing applications. Sections provide a comprehensive review of certain fundamental mechanisms in different living creatures including humans, animals, and plants. In addition, the book presents and discusses ways for imitating various nature-inspired structural features and their functional properties such as hierarchical, interlocked, porous, bristle-like structures, and hetero-layered brick-and-mortar structures. Sections also highlight the utility of these structures and their properties for sensing functions, which include static coloration, self-cleaning, adhesive, underwater navigation and object detection, electric charge generation, and sensitive olfactory functions for detecting various substances. This is followed by an appraisal of accumulating knowledge and its translation from the laboratory to the point-of-care phase, using selective sensors as well as desktop and wearable artificial sensing devices, e.g., electronic noses and electronic skins, in conjunction with AI-assisted data processing and decision-making in the targeted field of application. - Discusses current strategies for fabricating nature-derived bio/chemical sensors - Presents ways to apply nature-derived bio/chemical sensors in real life - Discusses the future of nature derived bio/chemical sensors

Book Description

This book presents nature inspired computing applications for the wireless sensor network (WSN). Although the use of WSN is increasing rapidly, it has a number of limitations in the context of battery issue, distraction, low communication speed, and security. This means there is a need for innovative intelligent algorithms to address these issues.The book is divided into three sections and also includes an introductory chapter providing an overview of WSN and its various applications and algorithms as well as the associated challenges. Section 1 describes bio-inspired optimization algorithms, such as genetic algorithms (GA), artificial neural networks (ANN) and artificial immune systems (AIS) in the contexts of fault analysis and diagnosis, and traffic management. Section 2 highlights swarm optimization techniques, such as African buffalo optimization (ABO), particle swarm optimization (PSO), and modified swarm intelligence technique for solving the problems of routing, network parameters optimization, and energy estimation. Lastly, Section 3 explores multi-objective optimization techniques using GA, PSO, ANN, teaching–learning-based optimization (TLBO), and combinations of the algorithms presented. As such, the book provides efficient and optimal solutions for WSN problems based on nature-inspired algorithms.
