Human Activity Recognition
Unlocking the secrets of human movement, our research in Human Activity Recognition (HAR) is forging a new path in technological innovation. Utilizing LiDAR sensors and cutting-edge deep learning, we’re enabling machines to see and understand human actions in a way never before possible. This isn’t just technology responding to commands; it’s technology resonating with human life. From enhancing accessibility to ensuring privacy, HAR is redefining the way we interact with the world around us.
Wireless Localization
In the ever-expanding world of wireless technology, pinpointing a device’s exact location is fraught with challenges. Traditional methods often falter in accuracy, especially amidst obstacles and interference. Our Wireless Localization project is a game-changer. Utilizing reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, we manipulate electromagnetic waves to enhance localization precision. These smart surfaces adapt to the wireless landscape, reducing errors and boosting reliability. It’s a blend of intelligence and adaptability, redefining how we navigate the wireless world.
LiDAR and UAV Fusion: Pushing Boundaries in Mapping, Sensing, and Beyond
Explore the future of aerial surveillance and communication with Flying LiDAR. Our project equips UAVs with sophisticated LiDAR sensors for accurate object detection and utilizes mmWave technology for rapid data exchange. This all-in-one solution streamlines UAV network operations, making it ideal for a wide range of applications from search and rescue to environmental monitoring.
LiDAR-Driven Intelligent Mobility
This project harnesses the power of LiDAR technology to transform Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). By integrating Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) and predictive beamforming, it aims to provide real-time traffic management and navigation solutions that are both responsive and efficient. By reducing computational complexity and minimizing delays in fast-moving vehicle scenarios, LiDAR’s precision lays the groundwork for robust communication. This synergy between computing and communication technologies is paving the way for a new era of intelligent and streamlined transportation.
Global Connectivity
Sky-high connectivity is no longer just a phrase; it’s a reality we’re building. Imagine a world where remote areas have as much access to high-speed communication as metropolitan cities. Our project integrates terrestrial networks, satellites, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to create an all-encompassing wireless communication system. From ground base stations to drones in the sky, we’re designing a network to tackle inefficiencies, reduce delays, and expand coverage. It’s not just communication; it’s communication without boundaries.
Multi-element Visible Light Communications
We’re revolutionizing the way light bulbs can talk to your devices! Imagine a room where the very light illuminating your space is also streaming data to your smartphone or laptop. Our project takes ordinary LED lighting and turns it into a high-speed, multi-user communication hub. We’ve cracked the code on how to make this system not only super-fast but also incredibly uniform in lighting up a room. It’s like Wi-Fi, but with the added bonus of brightening your world. Stay tuned as we refine this exciting technology into a working prototype that promises to change the way we think about connectivity and illumination!
