The goal of the subject is to give students overview about sensors and actuators, their principles and possible applications.

Student who has passed the subject:
• is able to name possible applications for sensors and actuators;
• understands the physical and chemical principles of different sensors and actuators, also their features and future trends;
• is able to estimate environmental effect on the accuracy of the sensors (i.e. temperature sensitivity);
• is able to find information about restrictions (boundary conditions) of using sensors and actuators;
• applies obtained knowledge when developing electronic systems including information and data acquisition tasks.

Sensors (electrochemical, thermal, mechanical, photoelectrical etc.). Principles, applications, micro- and nanoscale solutions of sensors. Indirect measurements of physical quantities. Adaptive and smart sensors. Monolithic, hybrid, micro- and nanotechnologies. Electromechanical and optical elements in microchips. Conventional- and microactuators.
