Strain gauge type load cell is used widely as weight sensor. However, it has problems such as noise, power consumption, high cost and big size. Semiconductor type piezoresistive pressure sensor is practically used in recent for low hysteresis, good linearity, small size, light weight and strong on vibration. In this paper, we have fabricated the piezoresistive pressure sensor and packaged the miniature weight sensor. We packaged the miniature weight sensor by flip-chip bonding between die and PCB for durability, because the weight sensor is directly contacted on a physical solid distinct from air and oil pressure. We measured the characteristics of the weight sensor, which had the output of $10{\sim}80$ mV on the weight range of $0{\sim}2$ kg. In the result, we could fabricate the weight sensor with an accuracy of 3 %FSO linearity.

This paper describes a weight in motion(WIM) sensor to measure the weight of a vehicle in motion. The main sensing element of the WIM sensor is the PVDF(Polyvinylidene fluoride) film that shows rapid response to an external excitation. Due to the property of rapid response, it is possible to measure the weight of a vehicle in motion with high speed. In the development of the WIM sensor, the dominant target value was the uniformity of the sensor. To increase the uniformity, We employed shrinkable tube made of rubber to enhance the uniformity, and performed the rolling of the brass tube repeatedly. The uniformity of the sensor was examined experimentally. It was comparable to that of a WIM sensor of the MSI which was the benchmark of this development. This paper also describes the mechanical modeling of the sensor and the suitable charge amplifier for the sensor.

This paper presents a deep learning-based weight sensor, using optical speckle patterns of multimode fiber, designed for real-time intrusion detection. The weight sensor has been trained to identify 11 distinct speckle patterns, ranging in weight from 0.0 kg to 2.0 kg, with an interval of 200 g between each pattern. The estimation for untrained weights is based on the generalization capability of deep learning. This results in an average weight error of 243.8 g. Although this margin of error precludes accurate weight measurement, the system's ability to detect abrupt weight changes makes it a suitable choice for intrusion detection applications. The weight sensor is integrated with the Google Teachable Machine, and real-time intrusion notifications are facilitated by the ThingSpeak^TM cloud platform, an open-source Internet of Things (IoT) application developed by MathWorks.

This paper describes the development of a 3-axis finger force sensor to grasp an unknown object safely in an intelligent robot's hand. In order to safely grasp an unknown object, robot's hand should measure the weight of an object and the force of grasping direction simultaneous. But, in the published papers, the grippers and hands equippd with the force sensor that could only measure the force of grasping direction, and grasped objects using their sensors. These grippers and hands can't safely grasp unknown objects, because they can't measure the weight of it. Thus, it is necessary to develop 3-axis force sensor that can measure the weight of an object and the force of grasping direction for an intelligent gripper. In this paper, 3-axis finger force sensor to grasp an unknown object safely in an intelligent robot's hand was developed. In order to fabricate a 3-axis finger force sensor, the sensing elements were modeled using parallel plate beams, and the theoretical analysis was performed to determine the size of sensing elements, then the 3-axis finger force sensor was fabricated. Also, the characteristic test of the developed 3-axis finger force sensor was performed.

The high-level contribution of this paper is to illustrate the effectiveness of using graph theory tree traversal algorithms (pre-order, in-order and post-order traversals) to generate the chain of sensor nodes in the classical Power Efficient-Gathering in Sensor Information Systems (PEGASIS) data aggregation protocol for wireless sensor networks. We first construct an undirected minimum-weight spanning tree (ud-MST) on a complete sensor network graph, wherein the weight of each edge is the Euclidean distance between the constituent nodes of the edge. A Breadth-First-Search of the ud-MST, starting with the node located closest to the center of the network, is now conducted to iteratively construct a rooted directed minimum-weight spanning tree (rd-MST). The three tree traversal algorithms are then executed on the rd-MST and the node sequence resulting from each of the traversals is used as the chain of nodes for the PEGASIS protocol. Simulation studies on PEGASIS conducted for both TDMA and CDMA systems illustrate that using the chain of nodes generated from the tree traversal algorithms, the node lifetime can improve as large as by 19%-30% and at the same time, the energy loss per node can be 19%-35% lower than that obtained with the currently used distance-based greedy heuristic.

This paper describes the development of a Stewart platform-based robot force sensor with distinctive structure of ball joints. The number of ball joints is only a half of the similar style sensors, so it is possible to reduce size and weight of the sensor. The structure of ball joint is described and discussed. Furthermore, we use strain gauges, but not liner voltage differential transformers, as sensing elements, in order to reduce size and weight of the sensor. It is also proposed that beams are replaced with pipes as sensing elements of the sensor. The ball joints and sensing elements with pipes can effectively reduce the error of the sensor. A geometric analysis model is also proposed. The external force and its moment can be measured with this model. Moreover, the performance of this sensor was tested. The test results conducted to evaluate the sensing capability of the sensor is reported and discussed.

Motion recognition is very useful for implementing an intuitive HMI (Human-Machine Interface). In particular, hands are the body parts that can move most precisely with relatively small portion of energy. Thus hand motion has been used as an efficient communication interface with other persons or machines. In this paper, we design and implement a light-weight ANN (Artificial Neural Network)-based hand motion recognition using a state-of-the-art flex sensor. The proposed design consists of data collection from a wearable flex sensor, preprocessing filters, and a light-weight NN (Neural Network) classifier. For verifying the performance and functionality of the proposed design, we implement it on a low-end embedded device. Finally, our experiments and prototype implementation demonstrate that the accuracy of the proposed hand motion recognition achieves up to 98.7%.

무게 센서를 기본으로 한 광파이버는 무게에 민감한 파이버 브래그 격자를 이용한 구조로 되어있다. FBG 본래의 특성을 이용한 센싱과 광파이버 브래그 격자를 통하여 스트레인 효과를 기본으로 하였다. 무게 레벨의 직접적인 표시는 센싱 물질의 팽창으로 말미암아 브래그 파장의 천이에 의하여 알 수 있다. FBG의 동작은 스트레인과 온도에 매우 민감하게 만들기 위해서 본래의 특성에 의한 것으로 특별한 필터와 같다. 이러한 센싱 원리는 무게를 인가한 것으로 FBG를 통해서 스트레인 효과를 기본으로 한 것이다. 실험 구성은 센서의 무게 응답특성을 초기 연구를 통해 이용하였다. 센서로부터 투과된 신호는 0.4nm의 분해능 대역폭을 가지며 광 스펙트럼분석기를 이용하여 관찰하였다. 본 논문에서는 무게에 따른 광파이버 브래그 격자의 중심 파장이 변화하는 것을 이용하는 동시에 작은 격자 부분에 무게로 영향을 주어 FBG의 스펙트럼 특성과 형태를 나타내었으며, 광파이버의 내구성이 사라졌을 때 파장과 스트레인 변화가 제거됨을 알 수 있었다. 즉, 무게에 의해 광파이버가 파괴되면 물리적인 손상을 입게 된다.
