| Sensor Technology is everywhere. Long before The Internet of Things there was Sensor Technology of People and Things. The living hand senses its wetness. The hand dryer machine is sensing proximity of men.Still there are great numbers of new discoveries and developments on their way to the environment, both directly connected to human beings or other living creatures, and indirectly through industrial applications. |  |
| For this year’s ‘The Sense of Contact’ sensor conference of STW, FHI and MinacNed the organising committee defined a challenging theme: ‘Sensors for People & Industry’. The program has been worked out into three different comprehensive tracks: Sensors in & on Living Creatures, Sensors Around the Human Being and Sensors in Industrial Environment.On the one hand the program focuses on high-end enabling technology, on the other hand there is a number of application driven presentations. In a number of lectures results of STW-funded research project will be presented, to be taken for applications by industry. In other presentations industry comes forward with their ideas and applications and in some contributions to the program specific needs and ideas for further research and development will be brought to the participating audience to pick up. | |
