Low-Cost Interfaces for Sensors and Sensor Systems
1997This paper discusses the basic ideas, circuitry and applications of a novel family of low-cost transducer interfaces. These interfaces, which are directly read-out by a microcontroller, service the following sensor elements: Pt resistors, thermistors, potentiometers resistors, capacitors, resistive bridges and voltage- and current sources.

Modeling and Evaluation of Low-Cost Force Sensors
IEEE Transactions on Robotics, 2011Low-cost piezoresistive sensors can be of great interest in robotic applications due not only to their advantageous cost but to their dimension as well, which enables an advanced mechanical integration. In this paper, a comparison of two commercial piezoresistive sensors based on different technologies is performed in the case of a medical robotics ...

A Low-Cost Chlorophyll Fluorescence Sensor System
2016 VI Brazilian Symposium on Computing Systems Engineering (SBESC), 2016Chlorophyll fluorescence (CF) yield is a well-known method of measuring plant health. Currently, many solutions exist for measuring CF, but the application methods are complex and costs are high. We propose a solution in which we utilise off-the-shelf components in an affordable package, which is able to measure CF.

Nonlinear modeling of low cost force sensors
2008 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2008In this paper, nonlinear modeling of low cost force sensors is considered for force control applications in robotic or biomechanical applications. Commercial force sensors are often expensive, with a limited use in severe conditions such as the presence of a strong magnetic field.

Calibration of low-cost triaxial inertial sensors
IEEE Instrumentation & Measurement Magazine, 2015Accelerometers (ACCs) and gyroscopes (gyros) are commonly known as inertial sensors and their orthogonal triads generally form an inertial measurement unit (IMU) used as a core means of a navigation system. Before the navigation system is to be used, it is necessary to perform its calibration.

On-the-Fly Calibration of Low-Cost Gas Sensors
2012Air quality monitoring is extremely important as air pollution has a direct impact on human health. Low-cost gas sensors are used to effectively perceive the environment by mounting them on top of mobile vehicles, for example, using a public transport network.

Review of technologies for low-cost integrated sensors
2011 IEEE International Conference on RFID-Technologies and Applications, 2011This paper discusses the evolution towards integrated RFID-enabled wireless sensor network infrastructure using UHF and microwave frequencies. Inkjet-printed technology on flexible paper substrates and the integration (assembly) of sensors, wireless modules, discrete components and power sources is proposed as a solution for low-cost, light-weight, and

An evaluation of low-cost sensors for smart wheelchairs
2013 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE), 2013The success of smart wheelchairs in practice will depend on achieving sensing that is both highly reliable and low cost. Recent options, made in volume for gaming and for hobbyists, offer such a possibility. Several sensors, including a 3-D camera, low-cost laser rangefinders, sonar sensors and a low-cost inertial measurement unit, were considered for ...
