Importance of developing sensor technology
Sensors are the "bridge" between the physical world and the digital world. Their core function is to convert various physical, chemical or biological quantities into recognizable digital signals, and they are widely used in important fields such as scientific research, industry, national defense and medical care.
Sensors play an important role in scientific instruments, smart terminals, high-speed rail, medical care and national defense. For example, a high-speed train is equipped with one sensor for every 40 parts on average; modern medical diagnostic methods rely on hundreds of physiological, chemical and biological sensors; the perception and combat capabilities of unmanned systems also rely entirely on high-end sensor networks.
