[科技應用] 國科會支持無線感測器研發 讓未來生活更便利
在國家科學委員會「無線感測器網路技術計畫辦公室」支持下,有八組研究團隊分別負責研發無線感測器網路技術的發展與應用,範圍涵蓋家庭設備、醫療儀器以及公共安全建設等。
專案計畫辦公室主任呂學士表示,在 2012年之前,無線感測網路將會是一價值六億美金的產業,台灣擁有成熟先進的晶片設計技術,將在這個產業趨勢握有優勢先機。呂學士說:「我們有強勁的晶片設計技術,也有好的應用發展團隊,我們所需要的只是一個溝通平台,好讓無線感測晶片可被網路化。」而這樣的一個需求正逢國科會的計畫而滿足。目前是計畫執行的第三年,些許成果已經展露,包括探勘建築物的結構穩定性以及地震等自然現象的數位無線感測器,還有可無線監控病患或老人生命狀態的醫療追蹤系統。

[Applied Tech] Research Teams Supported by NSC Develop Wireless Sensor Network
Eight groups of scientists, sponsored by the National Science Council under its Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) Technology Research and Development Program, were responsible for the development of WSN applications in areas including home appliances, medical devices and safety detectors for public construction projects.
Coordination office director Lu Hsueh-shi (呂學士) said WSN could be a US$600 million industry by 2012, adding that, with mature and advanced chip design technology, Taiwan was at an advantage in this forthcoming industrial trend. “We have strong chip design technologies as well as good application development teams. What we need is a systematic communication platform so that all wireless sensor chips can be networked,” Lu said, and such a need seems to be provided by the NSC program. It's the third year of the project and some achievements have been shown including digital and wireless detectors used to monitor the structural integrity of buildings and phenomena like earthquakes, adding that one team had developed a medical tracking system that allows the bio-stats of sick or elderly people to be monitored wirelessly.
