2025-04-03
As the field of sensor applications continues to expand, the sensor market will maintain rapid growth. Looking back on the sensor market in 2016, which new products are well-deserved "black technology"? Let us wait and see how new products that will subvert the Three Views will appear in the sensing market in 2017.
2016 sensor new product group refreshes the screen Who will be the king of "black technology"?
At the end of 2016, the State Council issued the "Thirteenth Five-Year" National Strategic Emerging Industry Development Plan. The plan proposes to promote the research and development and industrialization of key technologies in areas such as smart sensors. This undoubtedly shows that smart sensors and world-class high-end chips will be the key areas of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in 20017.
Sensors are the most basic hardware in the era of intelligent perception, and the process of intelligentization is accelerating. Any connected intelligent terminal node cannot do without sensors. As the field of sensor applications continues to expand, the sensor market will maintain rapid growth, especially wearable devices, automotive electronics, medical care, and the Internet of Things will become the main growth points for sensors. So, looking back on the entire 2016, what are the new “black technology” products in the sensor market that are eye-catching?
1. Molecular sensor
In the past, although there have been technologies that used chemical substances in the "invisible ink" that needed to be encrypted, it has been difficult to ensure that hidden information is not read without authorization with continuously improved detection methods. In response to this situation, David Margulis of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel and his research team developed a fluorescent molecular sensor that can distinguish different chemical substances by generating specific fluorescence emission spectra. Taking into account recent concerns about global electronic surveillance, this sensor provides a safe means to bypass electronic communication systems.
2. Wireless sensor
In recent years, fitness trackers have become a more popular wearable technology product. However, engineers at the University of California, Berkeley took this concept one step further and developed extremely small wireless sensors to detect the health of the human body. It is reported that these devices have been reduced to a cubic millimeter only about the size of a grain of dust, called "neural dust." These sensors can be implanted in the human body, where they will perform real-time detection of tissues, muscles and nerves.
3. Bioluminescence sensor
The bioluminescence sensor is actually a new type of research method, invented by a group of scientists from Vanderbilt University in the United States through genetic modification of the biological enzyme luciferase. According to the researchers, this new sensor can be used to track the internal interactions of large neural networks in the brain.
4. Artificial hair sensor
For humans, the skin is not only a barrier to protect us from dust and bacteria, but also a medium for us to experience changes in the external environment. As researchers further develop robotics technology, they are also working hard to create functions like real skin for robots. He Xiaodong, a professor of materials science at Harbin Institute of Technology in China, and his colleagues have innovated in this regard. The new technology they developed can imitate the fine hair on the surface of the human body and transmit sensory information to the robot. The researchers used 30-micron fine wires instead of hair, and embedded a row of fine wires in silicone rubber. The role of this row of wires is to bring external information to the artificial skin. The research results can be used for sensing artificial limbs or corresponding medical and health care equipment.
5. Composite touch sensor
At present, most of the robot's touch sensors only have force sensors, so they can only detect the hardness and texture of objects, which makes the robot's accuracy in identifying foreign objects very low. But if combined with traditional force sensors, composite touch sensors can help robots recognize the composition of objects. Using this principle, experts from the Georgia Institute of Technology in the United States demonstrated that they designed a "skin" for robots that can generate heat and made of conductive and non-conductive fabrics and thermistors.
6. Air sensor
TZOA has introduced a new type of air sensor. It is understood that this is a sensor that can collect air quality information. The information collected includes the type and quantity of particles and whether it contains harmful chemical substances. And the device can also protect fetuses and children from pollutants that affect brain development. In the future, the company plans to sell equipment for outdoor pollutio

And the device can also protect fetuses and children from pollutants that affect brain development. In the future, the company plans to sell equipment for outdoor pollution in China and India, and equipment for indoor pollution in the United States. TZOA is also developing asthma equipment that can help determine the predisposing factors of asthma attacks.
7. Sleep-promoting "Sense" sensor
According to reports, James of London, England, invented a sleep sensor called "Sense". It is understood that the "Sense" sensor can automatically adjust the lights and control the heating according to the owner's regulation, and even play soothing music to promote human sleep, and the environment can be adjusted to the most comfortable condition during sleep. It can also monitor sound, light, temperature, humidity, and air quality, and score the user's sleep every night.
8. EMG sensor
Sensors have always been an important role in the medical and health field because they are at the forefront of collecting data. The EMG sensor independently developed by Shanghai Chengdian is a charge sensor with high sampling rate, strong anti-interference ability and good filtering effect. The sensor has been successfully applied in rehabilitation medicine and bionic prostheses, and will be expanded to the sunrise industry such as VR/AR, physical fitness, and human exoskeleton in the future.
9. Temperature Sensor
SirenCare, a startup that is dedicated to monitoring the health of diabetic patients, has developed a smart socks that uses a temperature sensor to detect whether the patient has inflammation, and then detects the health of diabetic patients in real time. Compared with the boots and insoles developed by other companies before, Siren's socks are closer to the skin. The sensor is woven into the socks, which can detect foot inflammation at any time, and all the detected information will be uploaded to the App on the smartphone, so that the patient can know the condition of their feet at any time.
10. Skin sensor
According to reports, Japanese researchers have recently invented a cheap integrated sensor like a band-aid. This band-aid integrated sensor is a flexible device that can be attached to the body at will. It can monitor the amount of human activity, the number of heartbeats, and the intensity of ultraviolet rays. It can be used in fields such as health management and the Internet of Things. The stickable skin sensor is printed on a thin plastic film with the newly developed printing technology. Compared with the previous semiconductor sensor manufacturing technology, the cost is very low, taking into account the convenience of use and low cost.
To sum up
At present, sensors have been widely used in various fields of social development and human life, such as industrial automation, agricultural modernization, aerospace technology, military engineering, robotics, resource development, ocean exploration, environmental monitoring, security, medical diagnosis, transportation Transportation, household appliances, etc. Among them, pressure sensors, temperature sensors, flow sensors, and level sensors have shown the characteristics of a mature market. According to statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics, as the impact of the financial crisis fades, the sales of the domestic sensor market has recovered more than 10%. From 2016 to 2021, driven by investment in the Internet of Things and other application areas, the sensor market will see a large-scale growth.
2016 is about to pass, let us wait and see how new products will subvert the three views in the sensor market in 2017.
