The market for sensors is promising

Four universities in the United Kingdom took the lead in the development of a smart sensor system to conduct in-depth research on sensor systems with higher intelligence and stability, and explore their future applications in smart cities, big data and autonomous driving.

It is reported that the project is expected to develop better water conservancy systems, more responsive air quality monitoring systems, reliable autopilot systems, and precision manufacturing.

The project is led by four prestigious universities and colleges in the UK. It brings together researchers from various fields and cooperates with government departments, research institutes and companies. It utilizes advanced experience in sensor software, model making, verification and programming, and can be widely developed. Applied new sensor system.

The person in charge of the project said that although sensors are becoming more and more common in people's daily lives, the sensors themselves and their working environment are still very uncertain. For example, there is no unified scientific mechanism to ensure that sensor systems and the information they provide are adaptable and responsive. Sensitive, reliable and accurate. Researchers will improve sensor system design and configuration through this project, and will also develop real-time physical sensor test platforms for experiments. According to reports, the duration of the project is expected to continue until 2021.

As an important symbolic industry of international competition strategy, sensors have attracted worldwide attention due to their high technical content and broad market prospects. In the sensor technology and manufacturing process, the famous manufacturing companies in the United States, Germany, Japan and other industrialized countries are in the leading position in the international market.
