Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Considerable amount of effort has been devoted, over the recent years, towards the development of electronic skin (e-skin) for many application domains such as prosthetics, robotics, and industrial automation.

Electronic Skin: Sensors and Systems focuses on the main components constituting the e-skin system. The e-skin system is based on: i) sensing materials composing the tactile sensor array, ii) the front end electronics for data acquisition and signal conditioning, iii) the embedded processing unit performing tactile data decoding, and iv) the communication interface in charge of transmitting the sensors data for further computing.

Technical topics discussed in the book include:
* Tactile sensing material;
* Electronic Skin systems;
* Embedded computing and tactile data decoding;
* Communication systems for tactile data transmission;
* Relevant applications of e-skin system;

The book takes into account not only sensing materials but it also provides a thorough assessment of the current state of the art at system level. The book addresses embedded electronics and tactile data processing and decoding, techniques for low power embedded computing, and the communication interface.

Electronic Skin: Sensors and Systems is ideal for researchers, Ph.

D. students, academic staff and Masters/research students in sensors/sensing systems, embedded systems, data processing and decoding, and communication systems.

Ali Ibrahim received the M.S. degree in Industrial Control from the Doctoral School of Sciences and Technologies, Lebanese University, in 2009, and the Ph.D. degree in electronic and computer engineering and robotics and telecommunications from the University of Genoa-Italy in 2016. From 2009 to 2013, he was a Project Designer in electronics in Beirut. He is currently an assistant professor at the Lebanese International University, and an associate researcher with the Department of Electric, Electronic, Telecommunication Engineering and Naval Architecture, University of Genoa. His research interests involve embedded electronic systems, FPGA implementation, digital data processing, interface electronics for electronic skin systems, embedded machine learning, approximate computing, and techniques and methods for energy efficient embedded computing. Maurizio Valle (MV) received the M.S. degree in Electronic Engineering in 1985 and the Ph.D. degree in Electronics and Computer Science in 1990 from the University of Genova, Italy. In 1992 he joined the University of Genova, first as an assistant and in 2007 as an associate professor. From December 2019, MV is full professor at the Department of Electrical, Electronic and Telecommunications Engineering and Naval Architecture, University of Genova; MV leads the Connected Objects, Smart Materials, Integrated Circuits - COSMIC laboratory. MV has been and is in charge of many research contracts and projects funded at local, national and European levels and by Italian and foreign companies. Professor Valle is co-author of more than 200 papers on international scientific journals and conference proceedings and of the book: Robotic Tactile Sensing Technologies and System, Springer Science+Business Media, Dordrecht, pp. 1-248, 2013 (ISBN: 978-94007-0578-4). His research interests include electronic and microelectronic systems, material integrated sensing systems, tactile sensors and electronic-skin systems. He is IEEE senior member and member of the IEEE CAS Society.
