In this paper, the new method that estimates a sensing ability of smart sensor will be proposed. A study is estimation method that evaluates sensing ability about smart sensor respectively. According to acceleration(g) and displacement changing, we estimated sensing ability of smart sensor using SAI(Sensing Ability Index) method respectively. Smart sensors was made fer experiment. The types of smart sensor are two types(hard and soft smart sensor). Smart sensors developed for recognition of material. Experiment and analysis are executed for estimate the SAI method. In develop a smart sensor, the SAI method will be useful for finding optical design condition of smart sensor that can sense a material. And then dynamic characteristics of smart sensors(frequency changing, acceleration changing, critical point, etc.) are evaluated respectively through new method(SAI) that use the power spectrum density. Dynamic characteristic of sensor is evaluated with SAI method relatively. We can use the SAI for finding critical point of smart sensor, too.

This paper describes a characteristics of MFL according to the position of Hall sensor Magnetic Flux Leakage(MFL) Method is used to detect surface defect in ferromagnetic plate. A plate has a surface defect and magnetizing equipment are producted to perform Non-Destructive Testing(NDT) using MFL. The SM 45C carbon steel plate is adopted to this experiment. there is a artifical defect with a twice of thickness and a half of depth of plate. Magnetizing equipment is composed of yoke made by layer-built of silicon sheet steel, NdFeB magnetic and iron brushes. Detecting defect is performed by MFL NDT using Hall sensor. It is shown that magnetic flux detected by Hall sensor is affected according to the position of Hall sensor through MFL experiment and numerical analysis.

I-phone presented a new mobile control type by the introducing motion recognition sensor and that influenced on game application development so that led a lot of games using kinds of sensors. In this paper, we divided the game enjoyment into 5 factors for the embodiment of the sensor's influence direction on the enjoyment. We experimented two game, which have same content, different devices in using motion recognition sensor or not for clarifying the distinction between devices. As a experiment source game, we used Cooking Mama, as a experimental device, we used I-pod touch and NDS. This experiment shows a motion recognition sensor control's enjoyment is far superior to touch sensor. This sensor got high marks on every fun factors, stimulus, absorption, empathy, accomplishment and variation. Especially, stimulus and empathy showed great differences. In this case, we found the fact that extended communication between the gamer and the device can be fun.

There are many kinds of seam trackers in the industrial welding field. We are proposed the contact seam tracking sensor applying strain gauges kind of contact sensor that mostly used in welding part now. For this seam tracking experiment, we made the strain gauges sensor by ourselves and tested how well the sensor tracks the seam. The experiment device consist of strain gauges sensor, amplifier circuit of strain gauges signal, saw wave generator, MOSFET power diving circuit and X-Y slide by moved DC motor. The tracking areas are X-Y planes(left, right, up and down) and the change of strain gauge resistance causes to move DC motor that connected to X-Y slide. As a result of experiment, we confirmed that the strain gauges sensor tracks a seam well, and X-Y slide DC motor was controlled by PWM control.

One of the fundamental problems in wireless sensor networks is the efficient deployment of sensor nodes. The Fuzzy C-Means(FCM) clustering algorithm is proposed to determine the optimum location and minimum number of sensor nodes for the specific application space. We performed a simulation and a experiment using two rectangular and one L shape area. We found the minimum number of sensor nodes for the complete coverage of modeled area, and discovered the optimum location of each nodes. The real deploy experiment using sensor nodes shows the 94.6%, 92.2% and 95.7% error free communication rate respectively.

With the growth of interest in the UAVs, the study of the UAV collision avoidance is in progress. Lidar, Video camera, laser sensor, and ultrasonic sensor may be utilized for collision avoidance of UAV. In this paper, the characteristics of MB 1230 ultrasonic sensor is analyzed through the experiment. When concurrently using multitudinous ultrasonic sensors, ultrasonic sensors do not generate correct measurement values. To solve ultrasonic sensor interference, sequentially transmitting ultrasonics signal is suggested by using 'Enable' signal input of ultrasonic sensor, so by activating each ultrasonic sensor gradually. This proposed solution is also verified by experimentation.

A fully CMOS-integrated carbon nanotube (CNT) sensor array is proposed. After the sensor chip is fabricated in commercial CMOS process, the CNTs network is formed on the top of the fabricated sensor chip through the room-temperature post-CMOS processes. When the resistance of the CNT is changed by the chemical reaction, the read-out circuit in the chip measures the charging time of the $R_{CNT}$-Capacitor. finally the information of measured frequency is converted to a digital code. The CMOS sensor chip was fabricated by standard 0.18um technology and the size of the $8{\times}8$ sensor array is $2mm{\times}2mn$. We have carried out an experiment detecting the biochemical material, glutamate, using this sensor chip. From the experiment the CMOS sensor chip shows the feasibility of sensor for the simultaneous detection of the various target materials.

In this paper, we implemented a respiration measurement system consisting of piezoelectric sensor, respiration signal processing device, and a viewer on a notebook. We tried an experiment for measuring respiration and detecting sleep apnea syndrome when a subject lay on a bed. We applied the respiration measurement algorithm to sensor data obtained from four subjects. In order to get a good graph shape, data manipulation methods such as moving averages and maximum values were applied. The window size for moving average was chosen as N=70, and the threshold value for each subject was customized. In this case, the proposed system showed 96.0% accuracy. When the maximum value among 90 data was applied instead of moving average, our system achieved 95.1% accuracy. In an experiment for detecting sleep apnea syndrome, the system showed that sleep apnea occurred correctly and calculated the average interval of sleep apnea. While infants or the elderly as well as patients with sleep apnea syndrome are lying down on a bed, our results are also expected to be able to cope with some accidental emergency situation by observing their respiration and detecting sleep apnea.

In this study, a small autonomous driving robot was developed for underground mines using the Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensor. The developed robot measures the distances to the left and right wall surfaces using the LiDAR sensor, and automatically controls its steering to drive along the centerline of mine tunnel. A field experiment was conducted in an underground amethyst mine to test the driving performance of developed robot. During five repeated driving tests, the robot showed stable driving performance overall. There were no collision accidents with the wall of mine tunnel.
