Modern Intelligent Instruments - Theory and Application

One of the most fundamental principles in science and technology is that the discovery can be reproduced or the results can be measured. So, at the beginning of the book “modern intelligent instruments-theory and application”, the introduction of measurement, the intelligent instrument and its composition, and the example of an intelligent instrument are present.

The fundamental modern intelligent instrument is signal detection and analysis technology. Although it is the classic content of intelligent instruments, the noise analysis technology, the weak signal detection technology developed largely in many test fields. Therefore, in Chapter 2, the structure principle of data acquired system, the noise analysis technology, and the weak signal detection technology are introduced.

In this chapter, we will discuss the measurement uncertainty in intelligent instruments; the data processing algorithms in industrial intelligent instruments; the inverse problem and its processing method; the intelligent computing includes the deep learning and machine learning arithmetic in the intelligent instrument design.

In this chapter, we will discuss the accuracy, reaction speed, and their design theory; the software and hardware tests of intelligent instrument; and the reliability engineering of intelligent instrument. Some context includes the design of experiments, the quality of data, the user-centered design and so on.

In this chapter, the IIC, SPI, EPA communication technology will be discussed, and the input-output technology includes HMI, OLED will be introduced and analyzed.

In this chapter, we will introduce two kinds of proteus designs, one is the foundational instrument hardware design example, and the other is its advance instrument design example.

In this chapter, we will introduce two interesting domains in intelligent instrument: MATLAB and Arduino. As they easily combine with the theory and technology, some MATLAB design examples or demos are introduced including the modern signal process, machine vision, and so on. Similar to MATLAB, as the opensource hardware is easy to combine with the device, the Arduino SLAM, PHM and other intelligent instrument applications are introduced.

In this chapter, the advances of the wearable and IoT intelligent instrument are discussed; some state-of-the-art instruments and their applications will be also introduced.

In this chapter, we will introduce the state-of-the-art instruments of online equipment monitoring system. Meanwhile, the technology of fault tolerance, fault analysis and the fault identify problem will be discussed.

In this chapter, the concept of the moving robot and the intelligent instrument will be introduced, followed by the smart small car and the intelligent instrument, and the micro UAV and the intelligent instrument. In the end the state-ofthe- art instruments and their applications will be presented.
