Imec and ADI have entered a broad research agreement on sensor technology with two immediate projects already underway.
One of these is, says Imec’s Kathleen Philips “the development of a low-power sensor for highly accurate indoor localization in the context of smart building or smart industry solutions. Concretely, we want this sensor to localize objects with a superior accuracy in a robust manner and achieve up to five times better accuracy than today’s best-performing solutions.”
The second initiative includes the creation, and ultimately the commercialization, of a highly-integrated liquid sensor that can be used in a variety of application domains, such as the analysis of water, blood or urine.
“Our single-chip sensor comprises multiple electrodes and excels in terms of cost and size, while demonstrating industry leading sensitivity and accuracy,” says Philips.
