Research on cross-field applications and future prospects of intelligent sensors

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed daily life through enhanced internet and communication technologies. Intelligent sensors, like temperature and humidity sensors, have revolutionized smart homes, enabling remote control and enhancing comfort. In agriculture, these sensors monitor soil moisture and crop conditions, optimizing farming practices for increased yields and sustainability. Healthcare benefits from the IoT with sensors in medical devices and wearables, offering real-time patient monitoring and cost reduction. Logistics employs intelligent sensors to track goods, boosting supply chain efficiency. Projects like IoT-based road analysis systems and pest monitoring exemplify data collection and intelligent decision-making, benefiting urban management and agriculture. It can be seen that intelligent sensors have an irreplaceable role in the Internet of Things, so this paper will introduce the technology and working principles of intelligent sensors and discuss the cross-domain applications and future expectations of intelligent sensors. Through literature analysis, it can be concluded that after the intelligent sensor receives the external signal, it will convert the signal into a physical signal related to the measured parameters and process, store, and communicate it so as to realize the detection, control, and data transmission of the environment. This means that intelligent sensors can be widely used in industrial production, environmental monitoring, medical health, and other fields.
