Application Specific Instrumentation (ASIN)
Amit Kumar Mishra · 2021
Nature has, consistently, been an inspiration for scientists and engineers. In this paper, I present a novel paradigm to instrumentation where we co-develop the sensor and machine learning algorithms to bolster the sensor. This is what happens in most species of animals through generations of coevolution. Such sensor and AI (SensAI) empowered instruments are expected to be inexpensive as well as more efficient (in the applications for which they have been developed). In addition to presenting the modus operandi of this application specific instrumentation (ASIN) paradigm this paper shall also, briefly, discuss some of the successful demonstrations of the ASIN paradigm.
