Sammanfattning	Remote web scraping is a data collection approach in which automated scripts or bots harvest publicly accessible web content — text, tables, metadata, or links — running on remote servers or cloud infrastructure rather than on the researcher's local machine. This separation allows continuous, large-scale, or geographically distributed crawling that local setups cannot sustain, making it particularly suited to longitudinal or high-volume data collection tasks.	Sensor data collection uses physical or digital instruments to automatically capture quantitative measurements from the environment, human bodies, or machines over time. Common sensors measure temperature, motion, heart rate, location, light, sound, or chemical properties. Because the recording is automated and continuous, the method can produce high-frequency datasets with minimal researcher burden, making it central to IoT, environmental monitoring, wearable research, and behavioral studies.
