Sensing systems

Sensing systems are technologies that detect changes in the environment, such as temperature, light, or movement. They are like a set of digital senses that gather information to help devices make decisions.

Examples:

  • Planet Labs: Planet Labs operates a constellation of Earth-imaging satellites equipped with advanced sensing systems to monitor environmental changes, track deforestation, measure carbon emissions, and assess the impacts of climate change on a global scale.
  • SeismicAI: SeismicAI utilizes advanced sensing systems and AI algorithms to detect and predict earthquakes in real-time. By analyzing seismic data from sensors deployed worldwide, SeismicAI provides early warnings of seismic activity and helps mitigate the impacts of earthquakes on communities and infrastructure.
  • Aclima: Aclima develops air quality sensing networks for smart cities to monitor and analyze pollution levels in real-time. Their sensing systems use stationary and mobile sensors mounted on vehicles or streetlights to collect data on air pollutants such as particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone. Aclima's platform provides cities with actionable insights to improve air quality, reduce emissions, and enhance public health.
  • Coral Vita: Coral Vita builds underwater coral farms equipped with sensing systems to monitor water quality, temperature, and acidity levels. These systems help restore coral reefs by providing optimal conditions for coral growth and resilience, thereby supporting marine biodiversity and mitigating the effects of climate change on coral ecosystems.
