摘要 / Abstract

Although the fundamental function of sensors did not change in time, the context of sensing evolved significantly. With the upcoming automatization and robotization of every day’s life, the way sensor functionality is implemented will change drastically. New requirements arise for functionality, integration, and signal/data processing. Obviously, key enablers for these new requirements are specific semiconductor technologies. In my presentation I will shortly touch on the evolution of sensor use cases across different industries, their communalities, and differences leading to today’s technical solutions. Based on the robotization assumption, I will shortly outline a potential technological future for the sensor business.
