Artificial Intelligence in Wireless Sensors and Instruments

This book heralds a new era in instrumentation and measurements. It combines artificial intelligence and wireless communications technologies with instrumentation and measurement systems to function as a single unit. Artificial intelligence has advanced considerably due to deep learning utilizing artificial neural networks, availability of large and curated datasets, implementation of new generation of fast processors having millions of transistors in chips, advanced algorithms, competitive commercial interests, and interest of governments to gain advantages. At the same time, new and highly advanced wireless technologies open new frontiers in communication systems technologically and applications aspects. Advanced technologies such as 5G and 6G networks enable easy use of communications systems by billions of people as well as by billions of machine-to-machines systems.

In this book, the communication principles are explained and implementation of AI on wireless networks are discussed. Many examples are provided. The author discusses instruments and instrumentation networks, modern sensors and transducers in detail.

Artificial intelligence is the technology humans have created where the machines do not only assist us, but also, they think for us creatively in some cases excelling humans thinking and reasoning. This book includes a chapter explaining how this is done with more than 50 figures. The security issues, fairness, efficiency, and social impact and acceptance of AI are highlighted. As explained in this book, AI and wireless communications are changing our lives in many ways including entertainment, games, social interactions, medicine and healthcare, R&D, automated living, intelligent transport systems, finance and economy, and Internet of Things.
