Smart Sensors Network for Air Quality Monitoring Applications

TL;DR: The work presents a network for indoor and outdoor air quality monitoring whose nodes include tin dioxide sensor arrays connected to an acquisition and control system with WiFi communication capabilities and advanced processing based on multi-input single-output neural networks is implemented at the network sensing nodes.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Smart Sensor Network for Air Quality Monitoring Applications

TL;DR: Advanced processing based on multiple-input-single-output neural networks is implemented at the network sensing nodes to obtain temperature and humidity compensated gas concentration values.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tactile sensors for robotic applications

TL;DR: The basic aspects related with tactile sensors, including transduction techniques are revisited, and the brief analysis of the state-of-the-art of tactile sensing techniques that follows provides indicators to conclude on the future of tactile sensor techniques in the context of robotic applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Theory and Developments in an Unobtrusive Cardiovascular System Representation: Ballistocardiography

TL;DR: It is pertinent to revise all the information available on the ballistocardiogram’s physiological interpretation, its typical waveform information, its features and distortions, as well as the state of the art in device implementations.
