We aim to explore the cross-cutting research problems and gaps concerning the
hardware and
software for
embedded and networked systems with extreme resource and energy constraints.
These systems will significantly impact how we live and work in the near future since there will be billions of interconnected devices.
This situation will create a significant demand for more bandwidth, low-power operation, sustainability, confidentiality, security, dependability, and many more.
Our current vision is to build and deploy networked embedded devices that can
harvest
ambient energy,run forever without batteries and support a wide range of green
applications from remote sensing to wearables. We explore:
-
low-power computation techniques and software building blocks
-
low-power wireless communication protocols
-
hardware for low-power computing and communication.
We provide the state-of-the-art microcontroller-based computing platforms, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), sensors, wireless modules, energy harvesting kits, and measurement tools to create testbeds for experimental evaluations and demonstrate real-world applications.
