Specialized Hardware • Environmental Motes (Berkeley, UVA) • Medical Motes (Harvard/UVA) • Wireless EKG • Pulse Oximeter • Robotic nodes • New microprocessors/microcontrollers • Use TI chips instead of Atmel
More Specialized HW • CCDs • Special logging mote (using camera memory card) • Stargates – heterogeneous WSNs • Powerful • Energy consumption is a problem • New devices appearing continuously
Sensors • Sensors must be small and low-power in order to reduce energy and fit form factor • Packaging important • Robustness to weather needed
Sensors • Example of sensors • Magnetic sensors • Honeywell’s HMC/HMR magnetometers • Photo sensors • Clairex: CL9P4L • Temperature sensors • Panasonic ERT-J1VR103J • Accelerometers • Analog Devices: ADXL202JE • Motion sensors • Advantaca’s MIR sensors • GPS • Cameras
Actuators • Examples of Actuators • Motor (for mobile nodes) • LEDs • Buzzer • Emit chemical • In general, actuators may be powerful, large, and complicated • Can be outside of motes (e.g., turn on lights, send a vehicle into system, …) • What actuators should go on motes?
Properties of Sensors (14) • Range • Example • HMC1053: +/-6 Gauss • Accuracy • Measure of error and uncertainty • Repeatability • HMC1002: 0.05% • Linearity • HMC1002: 0.1% (Best fit straight line +/- 1 Gauss)
Sensors • Sensitivity • How output reflects input? • Efficiency • Ratio of the output power to the input power • Resolution • Temperature within ½ degree
Sensors • Response time • How fast the output reaches a fraction of the expected signal level • Overshoot • How much does the output signal go beyond the expected signal level • Drift and stability • How the output signal varies slowly compared to time • Offset • The output when there is no input
Sensors • Packaging • Example – HMC1053: 16-PIN LCC packaging • Property of the circuit • Load of the circuit • Power drain • Initialization Time (important when nodes are asleep and awakened dynamically when an event occurs)
Sensors • Signal Processing • Process the sensor reading to make it useful to the application • Sensor fusion (heterogeneity possible) • False alarm processing (false positives and false negatives) • The complexity varies from a simple threshold algorithm to full-fledged signal processing and pattern recognition • New solutions needed on minimal capacity devices
Sensors • Raw reading of an MIR sensor in a quiet environment • The beginning period represents some unknown noise, possibly due to the positioning of the sensor
Sensors • Raw reading of an MIR sensor as a person walked by • The all-zero period is due to unreliable UART interface used to collect the reading and can be ignored.
