Abstract

Bioresorbable distributed Lagrangian sensors may enable environmentally sustainable spatio-temporal mapping of acute disasters through integrated dynamic and chemical sensing. We summarize recent work in bioinspired, ultraminiature structures, sensing targets, wireless communication and power strategies, and conclude with emerging directions for advancing these sensing platforms.
