Category: Lecture+Lesson, 4 SWS
Master Course
ECTS: 6, Winter Semester
University of Bremen
Lecturer: PD Dr. Stefan Bosse
Participation in the event is intended to provide students with interdisciplinary system-oriented access to the modeling, design and application of material-embedded or material-applied sensory systems that, due to their technical implementation and application, place special demands on data processing Understanding the overall system (including aspects of materials science and technologies). These new sensory materials are found eg. B. in robotics (cognition) or in production technology for material monitoring application.
Def.: Sensory materials consist of a carrier material, that cab represent a mechanically supporting structure, and from embedded sensor networks that integrate not only sensors but also electronics for sensor signal processing, data processing, communication, and communication and power supply networks.
The following competences should be acquired:
- Basic understanding of the technical structure and function of sensory materials: electronic signal processing of sensors, mechanical behavior, influence of sensors and electronics on mechanical properties of the substrate
- Data processing in sensor networks under hard conditions such as limited energy supply, computing power and memory, susceptibility to errors
- Parallel and distributed data processing suitable for low-resource sensor networks: architectures, communication, cooperation, competition for resources, programming models
- Fundamentals of robustness, error analysis, and redundancy in such sensor networks
