Nature-Derived Sensors

Nature-Derived Sensors: Basic Principles and Recent Advances begins with an introductory section dealing with fundamental and basic information about biomimetic mechanisms, materials, algorithms, and tools. In further detail, various classes of nature-inspired sensors are discussed. The book brings together a wide range of information from nature-inspired solutions for modern sensor technology. As a result of the demand for low-cost, high-quality, and smart sensors, scientists will face new challenges that can be resolved by learning from nature solutions. Biologically inspired technologies can be gathered under the title of biomimetics science. Biomimetic sensors and sensing technologies have grown rapidly and widely and therefore have found real industrial applications as emerging technologies.
