Researchers to Develop Sensor Networks that 'Talk' and 'Think'

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
AMHERST, Mass., Oct. 23 -- With virtually every segment of modern life -- from healthcare and manufacturing to homeland security -- relying increasingly on remote sensing technology, a group of researchers is working to create a new generation of intelligent and networked sensors that can communicate with each other and use the shared data to make decisions. An interdisciplinary team from the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Amherst and Boston University have been awarded a $2.47-million, five-year grant from the National Science Foundation to develop a self-contained sensor network that...Read full article

    remote sensing
    Remote sensing is a method of data collection and observation where information about objects, areas, or phenomena on Earth's surface is gathered from a distance, typically using sensors onboard satellites, aircraft, drones, or other platforms. This technique enables the monitoring and analysis of Earth's surface and atmosphere without direct physical contact. Remote sensing systems capture electromagnetic radiation (such as visible light, infrared, microwave, or radio waves) reflected or...
