In this class students will be acquainted with advanced sensor systems. Various physical properties will be handled (temperature, pressure, humidity, flow, speed,…). The focus will be given on industrial environment and industrial sensors. Also methods of sensor verification (validation) will be discussed. They will be based on mathematical modeling, known to students from modeling classes, and algorithms such as sensor fusion.

• Temperature – contact sensors
• Temperature – non-contact sensors
• Force and torque
• Position – analog sensors
• Position – digital sensors (laser scanners, Lidar, Radar…)
• Speed, acceleration
• Pressure and humidity
• Flow
• Liquid level
• Busses of industrial sensors (analog, digital)
• Sensor validation
• Sensor data fusion I.
• Sensor data fusion II.
