3Smallest Sensors
- 1. Epson (uFR-II)
- Advanced Model of Worlds Smallest Flying
Microrobot from Epson (August 2004) - Micromechatronics technology
- The worlds new lightest and most advanced
microrobot - The uFR-II is only the latest chapter in an Epson
success story that began with Monsieur a
microrobot that was listed in the Guinness Book
of Records as the worlds smallest microrobot.

4- Problem Limited Range
- Solution Fully wireless operation paired with
independent flight capability. The worlds
smallest and lightest sensor. - Wireless features
- - Epsons own sensor (worlds smallest and
lightest)

62. eCAM Ultra Compact High Data-Rate Wireless
Sensor Node with a Miniature Camera
- constructed by plugging a VGA video camera to the
Eco node. - Eco is an ultra-compact high-bandwidth wireless
sensor node developed by authors. It measures
only 13mm(L) 11mm(W) 7mm(H) and weights 2
grams.
- Great Power Consumption
- Other Advantages

83. Kionix KXPS5 June 30 2006
- The device the KXPS5 is just 0.9 millimeters
thick The sensor measures acceleration and is - primarily used for free-fall detection in
hard drives. - The KXPS5 family of products was specifically
engineered to have a very small form factor so
that they can be incorporated directly into the
hard disk drive. - use specifically in the hard drives of
mobile-electronic devices such as cell phones and
iPods.

104. Samsung 8.4MP CIS September 8th 2005
Sensor Size 96.5 mm Power consumption 10
mW. More importantly the sensors output is not
an analog signal but a digital signal. Micro
unit (MCU) Intelligent function
