Presenter: Prof. Chengkuo Lee (National University of Singapore, Singapore)
Topic: From Conventional MEMS Sensors to Novel Self-powered Sensors - Enabling Technology for Future Healthcare and Smart Home
Time: 3:00 pm, May 16th (Thursday)
Location: 909-B
Abstract:
In the past few years, we have witnessed the significant progress in the smart phones and other mobile devices. Wide-range new applications in healthcare, human-machine interfaces, gaming, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are becoming possible because of the new features provided by novel sensors and well-established smart phone industry infrastructure. Inertial sensors and microphones are the well-known MEMS devices in the smart phone market. In this talk, progress in silicon based MEMS and polymer MEMS is highlighted first. Then textile-based self-powered sensors and stretchable flexible polymer sensors towards diversified applications including energy harvesting, internet of things (IoT), healthcare monitoring, and novel human-machine interfaces for VR and AR applications are demonstrated.
