Advanced Sensors for Real-Time Monitoring Applications ‖

In the world of electronics, sensors are more than just components-they are the eyes, ears, and touchpoints of modern technology. From self-driving cars that rely on LiDAR and ultrasonic sensors to navigate complex environments, smart watches that detect your every move and heartbeat, to advanced brain chip implants that can sense your thoughts and translate them into physical moves with the assistance of exoskeletons, sensors bridge the gap between the physical world and digital systems. The rapid arrival of advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) has transformed almost every part of technology, especially data processing. However, the development of sensors remains a vitally important topic. Sensors form the foundation of innovation in electronics; novel sensors provide reliable data across a broad range of application areas and are a foundation for intelligent systems. Notably, knowing the capabilities and limitations of each sensor type is crucial for selecting the right sensor for a specific application, troubleshooting issues, and optimizing system performance. This book, entitled "Advanced Sensors for Real-Time Monitoring Applications II", demonstrates developments of real sensors for a range of applications, including descriptions of fundamental principles of operation, concepts, theory, and practical validation of the results, as well as a review of current state-of-the-art and future directions.
