SMART DUST
1.Abstract
'Smart' dust’ is a minute grain of silicon that spontaneously assembles, orients and senses its local environment, a first step toward fan development of rebels the size of sand grains that could be used in medicine, bioterrorism surveillance and pollution monitoring. Its is a hypothetical system of many tiny microelectromechanical systems
(MEMS) such as sensors, robots, or other devices, that can detect light, temperature, vibration, magnetism or chemicals. These are usually networked wirelessly and are distributed over some area to perform tasks like sensing.
Advances in hardware technology has enabled very compact, autonomous and mobile nodes each having one or more sensors, computation and communication capabilities ,and a power supply. The Smart Dust project is exploring whether an autonomous sensing, computing, and communication system can be packed into a cubicmillimeter mote to form the basis of integrated, massively distributed sensor networks. It focuses on reduction of power consumption, size and cost. To build these small sensors, processors, communication devices, and power supply , designers have used the MEMS technology. Smart Dust nodes otherwise known as motes are usually of the size of a grain of sand and each mote consists of :
1.Sensors
2. Transmitter & Receiver enabling bidirectional wireless communication.
3. Processors and control circuitory
4. Power supply unit
Using smart dust nodes, the energy to acquire and process a sample and then transmit some data about it could be as small as a few nanoJoules. These dust motes enable a lot of applications, because at these small dimensions ,these motes can be scattered from aircraft for battle field
