The objective of this one-day hands-on demonstration course is to provide a better understanding of how (specialty) optical fibres can be implemented as "artificial nervous systems", turning them, into smart systems when embedded into any tool or structure. Similarly, industrial processes can be made more energy and cost-efficient by monitoring and selectively sense quantities such as temperature, strain, acoustic waves and pressure all over the length of the optical fibre, in perfect similarity to a real organic nerve.

The course will mainly be held in laboratories and the participants will explore how one can use this sensing technology in different application domains such as electricity transport, intrusion detection, steel manufacturing process, etc.,
