ABSTRACT

The human attributes of self-awareness, empathy, morality and what constitutes consciousness and creativity have become part of the debate surrounding the development of machine intelligence. The benefits of improvements made in sensors will enhance the quality and performance of industry and other fields. A further error may occur due to poor calibration or poor performance in the instrumentation system. Because such errors are inherent in the system and are transmitted through to the measured value they are termed systematic errors. The engineering environment within which the instrumentation system is integrated can affect the input–output relationship of the sensor or of the instrumentation system as a whole. The philosophy of measurement is that of striving to reach some notional real or true value. The more effort made the greater the precision of the measurement and the smaller the uncertainty.
