An Analytical Model for Stepwise Adiabatic Driver Energy Consumption
Eric J. Carlson, Joshua R. Smith
This paper presents a complete closed-form analytical model for determining the per-cycle energy consumption of stepwise adiabatic drivers used for driving a capacitive load such a…
Improved Object Pose Estimation via Deep Pre-touch Sensing
Patrick Lancaster, Boling Yang, Joshua R. Smith
For certain manipulation tasks, object pose estimation from head-mounted cameras may not be sufficiently accurate. This is at least in part due to our inability to perfectly calibr…
Advances and Open Problems in Backscatter Networking
Vamsi Talla, Joshua Smith, Shyamnath Gollakota
Despite significant research in backscatter communication over the past decade, key technical open problems remain under-explored. Here, we first systematically lay out the design…
Improved Proximity, Contact, and Force Sensing via Optimization of Elastomer-Air Interface Geometry
Patrick E. Lancaster, Joshua R. Smith, Siddhartha S. Srinivasa
We describe a single fingertip-mounted sensing system for robot manipulation that provides proximity (pre-touch), contact detection (touch), and force sensing (post-touch). The sen…
Wireless Quantization Index Modulation: Enabling Communication Through Existing Signals
Zerina Kapetanovic, Vamsi Talla, Aaron Parks +2
As the number of IoT devices continue to exponentially increase and saturate the wireless spectrum, there is a dire need for additional spectrum to support large networks of wirele…
Ultra-low-power Wireless Streaming Cameras
Saman Naderiparizi, Mehrdad Hessar, Vamsi Talla +2
Wireless video streaming has traditionally been considered an extremely power-hungry operation. Existing approaches optimize the camera and communication modules individually to mi…
