Disease detection and control is thus one of the main objectives of vineyard research in France. Monitoring diseases manually is fastidious and time consuming, so current research aims to develop an automatic detection of vineyard diseases. This project explored the use of a high-resolution multi-spectral camera embedded on a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) to identify the infected zones in a field. In-field spectrometry studies were performed to identify the best spectral bands for the sensor design. The best models were found to be the function of the grapevine variety considered and the 520-600-650-690-730-750-800 nm bands were found to be the most efficient for all types of grapevines, with an overall classification accuracy of more than 94%.

In this paper is proposed a dynamic torque, rotational speed, and shaft position sensor. It is built of magnetic elastomer coating directly applied over a rotating shaft. The sensor is used for precise measurements of changes in torque and speed, and it is usable at high rotational speeds, directly on the device shaft. The sensor is based on magnetic elastomer material deformation and the corresponding change in magnetic field amplitude and direction. The proposed sensor design is simple and can acquire reliable readings for a wide range of rotational speeds. Sensor design consists of the following: magnetic elastomer coating with nanoparticles, in which, elastomer is used for a sensing convertor; magneto-resistive linear field sensor; and microprocessor unit for calibration and control. Numerical and experimental test results are demonstrated and analyzed. Sensor implementation aims to meet magnetic mechatronic systems’ specific requirements.

In this paper, we demonstrated a novel, all-fiber highly sensitive bend sensor based on a four-core fiber rod with a diameter of 2.1 mm. We observed a high resolution of the sensor at a level of 3.6 × 10−3 m−1. Such a sensor design can be used in harsh environments due to the relatively small size and all-fiber configuration, containing no adhesive, nor welded joints.
