Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sensor?
A sensor detects a physical quantity such as temperature, motion, light or pressure and converts it into a signal that electronics and software can read.
What are the main types of sensors?
Environmental, motion, position, optical, pressure, chemical and biometric sensors, among others; see the Sensor Types page.
What is sensor data fusion?
Combining data from several sensors to produce more accurate and reliable information than any single sensor provides.
How do sensors relate to IoT?
Sensors are the data source of IoT systems; connected devices send their readings to platforms for analytics and action.
Where can I follow sensor research?
IEEE Sensors Council, the MDPI Sensors journal and NIST publish research, and Sensors Converge is a major conference.
Which companies make MEMS sensors?
Bosch Sensortec, Sensirion, STMicroelectronics, Infineon and TDK are major makers.
Which additional references does this page add?
The section 'Sensor Societies, Journals & Events' lists IEEE Sensors Council, Sensors (MDPI), Sensors Converge, NIST Sensors, Sensirion.
Where do I find manufacturers?
The Sensor Producers page lists manufacturers by category.
