Common causes of visual impairment and statistical data have been presented in a short form. Of the wide variety of sensory aids, ultrasonic, optical, and other electronic sensors for mobility, orientation, and navigation have been discussed, in addition to sensory aids for communication and information. Sensors for mobility and orientation are considered as secondary travel aids and are used as a supplement to the traditional long cane or the guide dog. Among the sensory aids for communication and information, mostly closed circuit television systems and reading machines are in use today. A quick look into the relevant patent literature showed that almost all aspects of present sensory aids are covered by patents and patent applications. It is expected that in the near future further progress will be made with more sophisticated and miniaturized sensory aids for the visually impaired. A real technological challenge will be the realization of retina implants. If this approach works successfully, there is a good chance of restoring vision for blind people.","PeriodicalId":154848,"journal":{"name":"Sensors Update","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126261457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This chapter presents an overview of the research and development of electronic tongue systems and describes various sensors, sensor arrays, and their numerous applications. A sound basis for electronic tongues was provided by the extensive development of well-known selective sensors, especially electrochemical, and biological inspirations originating from sensory systems of mammalians. The up-to-date achievements of various scientific groups working in this field are reviewed. The performance of electronic tongues in the tasks of recognition (classification, identification, discrimination) of multicomponent media is considered. A useful option of multicomponent quantitative analysis with the help of electronic tongues is also reported. The correlation between the output of an electronic tongue and human sensory assessments of food flavor made by taste panel opens up an exciting possibility of measuring and quantifying the taste and flavor of foods. Application areas of the electronic tongue systems, including quality control of foodstuffs, clinical, industrial and environmental analysis, are surveyed. Future prospects for research and development of electronic tongues are discussed.","PeriodicalId":154848,"journal":{"name":"Sensors Update","volume":"229 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116493251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
