Building a wireless nervous system
"The Internet has transformed the way people exchange information and ideas, but what if computer networks could sense motion, light, heat or pressure? Could an environmentally aware network spot a forest fire in its early stages? Monitor a battlefield for the position of enemy troops? Detect damage to an oil pipeline, averting a disastrous leak?
Dozens of universities, venture capitalists, technology start-ups and major corporations are working on an experimental technology that could give computer networks millions of tiny electronic feelers. But they must untangle some thorny technical and economic problems before the technology takes off." [ZD Net]

Are Sensors the key to Grand Challenge?.
David Duke of RobotCorps has written a new Robotics Trends article that proposes the idea that the DARPA Grand Challenge is less about robots than about sensor technology. David offers an overview of the types of sensors used by robots entered in this year's DARPA contest and suggests possible sensor technology that we may see in the next contest such as SEEGRID's vision technology.
