Cognitive Sensing Technologies and Applications (Control, Robotics and Sensors)

Cognitive sensing systems combined with IoTs and smart technologies are used in countless applications such as industrial robotics, computer-aided diagnosis, brain-computer interface (BCI), human-computer interaction (HCI), telemedicine, driverless cars and smart energy systems.

With contributions from an international team of experts from a wide range of research areas including sensing, computer vision, signal processing and device and control applications, this book highlights the emerging role of cognitive sensors in a growing number of real time applications including smart health, smart cities, smart transportation and smart agriculture.

The volume will be suitable for a broad audience of researchers in the fields of smart sensing, signal processing, automation and robotics, environmental engineering, energy engineering, biomedical engineering and allied disciplines where smart sensors are part of the curriculum.
