Adaptive Sensor : Exploring the use of dynamic role allocation based on interesting to detect blood and tumors in a smart pill

For intelligent systems, the ability to adapt a sensor's sensing capabilities offers promise for reducing numbers, weight, and volume of sensors required. This basic idea is in line with a recent assertion by the well-known roboticist Rodney Brooks, that versatile robots could be used to perform various tasks instead of requiring a large number of specialized robots.In the current work, we consider the concept of a "smart" sensor which could dynamically adapt itself to replace multiple static sensors--within the application area of ingestible smart pills, where small sensors might be required to detect problems such as bleeding or tumours.\\ Simulations were used to evaluate some basic strategies for how to adapt the sensor and their effectiveness was compared; as well, a hardware prototype using LEDs to indicate system switching was prepared.
