What is smart dust?
Smartdust is a term used to describe groups of very small robots that can be used for monitoring and detection. Currently, the scale of smartdust is relatively small, with individual sensors of the size of a package of playing cards, but it is hope to have robots as small as a stain of dust. Individual smartdust sensors are often referred to as motifs due to their small size. These devices are also known as MEMS, which means microelectromechanical sensors .
Smartdust has theoretical applications in virtually every area of science and industry. Research in technology is well financed and robes based and is generally accepted that it is simply a matter of time before Smartdust exists in a functional way. Opponents question the risks for personal privacy, but advocates claim that the disadvantages are strongly outweighs positive advantages. It is not at the end of the 90's and to see virtually unlimited applications in the sphere of modern war. So far, research has been promising, with Smartdust B prototype sensorsyly small as 5 mm. The costs dropped rapidly by technological innovations, which reduced the individual motifs to only $ 50, with the hope that they will drop below $ 1 in the near future.
Applications of these sensors are seemingly without an end. Every aspect of life that one examines opens new ways for Smartdust. Smartdust can eventually be used to monitor operation and direct it, accompany it, accompany the soldiers and alert them to any poisons or dangerous biological substances in the air, watch people around and watch their activities, watch defects in products when they are based on the assembly line, and even enter human bodies and control physiological problems.
Energy use is the main area of Smartdust VPole. With small devices, batteries are a massive addition of weight. It is therefore important to use the absolutely minimal amount of energy in communicating the data they collectto the central nodes where there are access to them.
Smartdust development continues to fracture and will undoubtedly be a matter of course to have a huge army of thousands or millions of almost invisible sensors to monitoring our environment to ensure our safety and efficiency of the machines around us.
