A new strategy for dimensional metrology using smart dust networks
Résumé
Today most manufacturing efforts in the industry are directed toward producing objects with forms and dimensions specifics. This situation opens the field of dimensional metrology, where several applications are available, and based on different technologies. This paper introduces a new strategy called SMS - Self-Measurement Systems - for dimensional measurement using the smart dust network concept. With this concept, we can imagine that the products will have in the future self-measurement capabilities based on the localization of the smart particles. In this paper we develop the SMS strategy and demonstrate the feasibility using a simple geometric form: the square.
