This seminar briefly introduces biology-inspired (or biomimetic) sensing and processing by examining human/mammalian/insect sensing devices and realizing such biological sensing devices using MEMS technology to produce micro-sensing devices. The biomimetic processing is also discussed with examples of signal de-mixing, direction finding and tracking of an object. It also briefly discusses on distributed sensor network and its information processing strategies. After biomimetic sensing and processing, sensor system development process is discussed with process models, an example, axes of a product. Finally, an end-to-end entities of sensor systems is presented. The seminar participants will learn about a few biological sensing mechanisms, device realization, examples of processing techniques. Additionally, the participants will understand the process that needs to be considered for sensor system development along with the entities of the sensor systems.
