Sensors and artificial perception

What it covers

The unit provides an introduction to the principles of sensing circuits and the inferential techniques required to deploy them for applications in artificial perception. We survey the components of a basic sensor’s circuit architecture in the context of a range of sensing technologies and provide hands-on practice in their construction and characterisation. Applications in biomedical technology, robotics and automation are considered alongside a theoretical framework for understanding the complexity of data collected in real-world environments. You will gain an appreciation for how decisions in circuit design and signal processing impact artificial sensation and perception in practice.
