EPSRC CDT in Sensor Technologies for a Healthy and Sustainable Future

 

The advance of open hardware such as the Raspberry Pi and Arduino platforms, alongside advances in consumer-grade 3D printing technologies, is boosting the development of "maker communities" in most parts of the world, progressively imposing a rethink of innovation and manufacturing techniques.
