Field of Technical Committee on Sensor and Actuators

Technical Committee on Sensors and Actuators ( TC-SA ) seeks new sensors and actuators for human support technologies in the daily life and wide variety of productions. Human support technologies enable new man-man/man-machine communications to have the comfortable life and to support aged peoples. The coverage fields of the TC-SA are as follows;

1. Sensors for control systems

2. Actuators for control systems

3. Haptics and force control

4. New sensing structure and new actuation system

5. Fault tolerance of sensor and actuator for control applications

6. Sensing system and Actuator for precise control

7. New integration of sensors and actuators

8. Intelligent sensors and signal processing

9. Intelligent actuators

10. Robot sensing systems

11. Robot actuation systems

12. Bio-sensing and signal processing
