17th WINGS-PES Salon was held.
First half: Activity reports
The Sensing Study Group reported on its origin and the study session contents. Mr. Yagi 1 st batch WINGS PES ) started this group on Sep. 2020 . H is research topic was about earthquake damage, and he need ed to detect the damage using a sensor.
However, there wa s no previous research on the same topic , so he could not determin e
what sensor was useful. Therefore, he launched the Sensing Study Group to get
information about sensor s in other research fields.
While explaining the study session contents , the Sensing Study Group introduced the template used for making presentations in the study group. U s ing the template
makes it easy for people who join the study group mid way through to get familiar with
the group. Furthermore, WINGS-PES members change annually because of
enrollment and graduation , so using template s is suitable for such a student study group in WINGS-PES.

after listening to the first half of t he salon . Together with t he Sensing Study Group
members , the participants discussed the sensors used in each research When
discussing Sensing Study Group s fu ture pla ns many participants mentioned preferring to learn about the analysis methods of the dat a acquired by the sensors, rather than about the types of sensors. The time spent decid ing the Sensing Study Group future activities was meaningful.
