    Lower cost is always desirable. How to characterize better performance in the list? For example better localization sensors are needed because GPS isn't accurate enough and it doesn't work indoors. Or…

    Sometimes the raw data out from a sensor might require a lot of complex post-processing. 'Smart' sensors that can utilise special DSP techniques on the chip will make the downstream design stage much easier…

    How Can Sensors Be Improved?

    What a question, that's like asking "How can the internet be improved?"

    • Some sensors that are too big need to be smaller
    • Some sensors that are to tiny and fragile need to get bigger and more robust
    • Some sensors that draw too much power should draw less
    • Some sensors that have a small output need to produce more output
    • Some sensors need to detect a smaller quantity/unit volume
    • Some sensors need to detect larger items without false detections of tiny objects
    • Some sensors cost way too much
    • Some sensors have too complicated interfaces
    • Some sensors have too complicated software algorithms
    • Some sensors fail in certain environments
    • Some sensors fail for no reason
    • I could go on and on.........
