5.3: A large area force sensor for smart skin applications

by Thomas V. Papakostas, et al. - SENSORS, 2002, PROC. OF IEEE , 2002
"... This paper presents the construction and theory of operation of a large area, flexible, tactile sensor and its applications. The sensing mechanism is based on the novel contact piezoresistive effect. Furthermore, the sensor’s resolution, size and shape can be easily tailored to the applications ’ re ..."

Piezoresistive Properties of ITO Strain Sensors Prepared with Controlled Nanoporosity

by Otto J. Gregory, Tao You, Otto J. Gregoryz, Tao You - Journal of the Electrochemical Society
"... A ceramic strain gage based on reactively sputtered indium-tinoxide ~ITO! thin films is being developed to monitor the structural integrity of components employed in aerospace propulsion systems operating at temperatures in excess of 1500°C. The high-temperature stability and piezoresistive properti ..."

properties depend to a large extent on the thickness of the active ITO strain elements comprising these ceramic strain gages. Scanning electron microscopy of the thick ITO sensors revealed a partially sintered microstructure consisting of a contiguous network of submicrometer ITO particles with well

Sensor integration using neural networks for intelligent tool condition monitoring, Trans.

by S Rangwala , Graduate Research , Assistant , Professor. Mem D Dornfeld , Asme - ASME J. Engng Ind. , 1990
"... A framework for intelligent sensors in unmanned machining is proposed. In the absence of human operators, the process monitoring function has to be performed with sensors and associated decision-making systems which are able to interpret incoming sensor information and decide on the appropriate con ..."
Abstract - Cited by 29 (0 self) - Add to MetaCart
articles In this paper, we present a technique for intelligent tool condition monitoring which employs information from multiple sensors. This information is integrated via a neural network, a parallel computing architecture which can learn to recognize patterns of sensor information and associate them

Design of a biomimetic active tactile sensor for legged locomotion

by V Dürr, A Krause - In Bidaud, P., and Ben Amar, F., eds, Proc. 5th Int. Conf. on Climbing and Walking Robots, CLAWAR 2002 , 2002
"... Many insects actively move their antennae during locomotion. In case of the stick insect, these movements are known to aid efficient leg coordination when walking on rough terrain. Based upon design principles of an insect antenna, we suggest to employ a biomimetic active tactile sensor to guide leg ..."

Detecting Anomalies in Sensor Data using Neural Networks

by Dr. Dean Mumme, Craig Lammers
"... ABSTRACT: There exists a need within the Department of Defense (DoD) to provide a highly responsive and costeffective anomaly detection capability for satellite health monitoring. The solution must address current Battle Management Command and Control (BMC2) deficiencies. A soft-computing solution i ..."

LETTER Proposal of a Micromachined Tactile Sensor Having Four Stories and Its Information Processing Method using Module Networks

by Seiji Aoyagi, Takaaki Tanaka , 2006
"... Abstract — Imitating the human skin structure, an arrayed type tactile sensor composed of many force sensing elements distributed on four stories is proposed. The information processing method for this sensor using neural network (NN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) is investigated. Since a practic ..."

UTILIZATION OF NEURAL NETWORKS AS SOFT SENSORS TO MONITOR

by unknown authors
"... To properly control emulsion polymerization reactions in a closed loop procedure, it is necessary to monitor important process variables, as conversion and average particle diameter. Conversion can be measured or inferred on-line by densimetry, gas chromatography, or calorimetry, but many industrial ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
reactions with 55 % solids content carried out in a continuous loop reactor were used to train and to validate these networks. In order to improve robustness stacked neural networks were used. The networks were trained with experimental data of several reactions capturing a large range of operational

Linking Nonlinear Tactile Elements by Cell-Bridge System

by Takayuki Hoshi, Hiroyuki Shinoda
"... The goal of our research is a practical robot skin that covers a large area of a robot surface, senses various touch feelings, and is soft and stretchable. We are developing a tactile sensor array by linking the sensor elements proposed in the previous sensor symposium. The sensor element acquires n ..."
