Introduction of Mechanical sensors (inertial, pressure, and tactile)

Mechanical sensors, encompassing inertial, pressure, and tactile sensors, are the unsung heroes behind many technological advancements. They provide the ability to measure and respond to physical forces, enabling applications in areas such as automotive safety, medical devices, robotics, and consumer electronics.

Inertial Sensors:

Investigating the development of accelerometers and gyroscopes for measuring acceleration and angular velocity, respectively, with applications in navigation, motion analysis, and stabilization systems.

Pressure Sensors:

Focusing on the design and calibration of pressure sensors that can measure a wide range of pressures, from atmospheric pressure to high-pressure environments, for use in industrial, medical, and automotive applications.

Tactile Sensors:

Exploring the creation of tactile sensors that mimic the human sense of touch, enabling robots and prosthetic devices to perceive and interact with their environment with a high degree of sensitivity and dexterity.

Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS):

Delving into MEMS-based sensor technologies, which miniaturize mechanical sensors to fit on a microscale, offering advantages in size, power consumption, and cost for various applications.

Sensor Fusion and Integration:

Analyzing strategies for integrating multiple types of mechanical sensors, along with other sensor modalities such as optical and electromagnetic sensors, to provide comprehensive data for complex applications like autonomous vehicles and wearable devices.
