Abstract
Autonomy requires awareness of the environment. For most real-world applications this necessitates on-board sensing, however, there is a constant demand to reduce the size and power consumption of sensors. Adaptive circuits that use local low-level tuning are a promising solution. This talk will introduce methods that have been used to design adaptive sensors and sensor interfaces for a number of applications.
