摘要

Virtual sensors and computational models to estimate physical quantities using data from physical sensors are increasingly vital in robotics, autonomous systems, and the Internet of Things. As their adoption increases, the need for standardization becomes critical to ensure reliability, interoperability, and quality across diverse applications. We explored the essential components of virtual sensors, including input data sources, preprocessing modules, modeling algorithms, and output interfaces. We delved into the considerations for establishing virtual sensor standards, encompassing aspects such as accuracy, scalability, security, and efficiency. By providing a structured approach to virtual sensor design and implementation, virtual sensor standards is facilitated for cross-platform compatibility to enhance data security and reduce development costs. The adoption of standardized virtual sensors integrates processes in different systems and fosters innovation while ensuring compliance with global regulatory requirements. This study underscores the importance of a collaborative effort to develop and adopt these standards, paving the way for reliable, efficient, and secure virtual sensor systems in the next generation of technological advancements.
