Abstract

Sensors are essential devices in many industrial applications such as factory automation, digital appliances, aircraft/automotive applications, environmental monitoring, and system diagnostics. The main role of those sensors is to measure changes of physical quantities of surroundings. In general, sensors are embedded into sensory devices with a circuitry as a part of a system. In this chapter, various types of sensors and their working principles are briefly explained as well as their technical advancement to recent smart microsensors is introduced. Specifically, the individual sensor issue is also extended to emerging networked sensors and their applications from recent research activities. Through this chapter, readers can also understand how multisensors or networked sensors can be configured and how they can collaborate with each other to provide higher performance and reliability within networked sensor systems.
