It is ever-increasingly demanded to remotely monitor people in daily life using radio-frequency probing signals. However, conventional systems can hardly be deployed in real-world settings since they typically require objects to either…
Smartphones have ubiquitously integrated into our home and work environments, however, users normally rely on explicit but inefficient identification processes in a controlled environment. Therefore, when a device is stolen, a thief can…
The increasing use of the Internet of Things raises security concerns. To address this, device fingerprinting is often employed to authenticate devices, detect adversaries, and identify eavesdroppers in an environment. This requires the…
This paper presents a case study of a recommender system that can be used to save energy in smart homes without lowering the comfort of the inhabitants. We present an algorithm that uses consumer behavior data only and uses machine learning…
Advances in sensing, networking, and actuation technologies have resulted in the IoT wave that is expected to revolutionize all aspects of modern society. This paper focuses on the new challenges of privacy that arise in IoT in the context…
Dexterous robotic manipulation requires comprehensive perception across all phases of interaction: pre-contact, contact initiation, and post-contact. Such continuous feedback allows a robot to adapt its actions throughout interaction.…
Smart gadgets are being embedded almost in every aspect of our lives. From smart cities to smart watches, modern industries are increasingly supporting the Internet of Things (IoT). SysMART aims at making supermarkets smart, productive, and…
Human Computer Interaction (HCI) has been redefined in this era. People want to interact with their devices in such a way that has physical significance in the real world, in other words, they want ergonomic input devices. In this paper, we…
We present magnetic fingerprints; an input technique for mobile touchscreen devices that uses a small magnet attached to a user's fingernail in order to differentiate between a normal touch and a magnetic touch. The polarity of the magnet…
We introduce a real-time, human-in-the-loop gesture control framework that can dynamically adapt audio and music based on human movement by analyzing live video input. By creating a responsive connection between visual and auditory stimuli,…
Remote home management is one of the developing areas in current technology. In this paper we described how to manage and control home appliances using mobile phone, people can use this system to do things in their home from a far place…
We routinely perform procedures (such as cooking) that include a set of atomic steps. Often, inadvertent omission or misordering of a single step can lead to serious consequences, especially for those experiencing cognitive challenges such…
The Internet of Things (IoT) is increasingly empowering people with an interconnected world of physical objects ranging from smart buildings to portable smart devices such as wearables. With recent advances in mobile sensing, wearables have…
With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, wireless access points (AP) and internet of things (IoT) devices have been widely deployed in our surroundings. Various types of wireless signals (e.g., Wi-Fi, LoRa, LTE) are…
Multimodal tactile sensing could potentially enable robots to improve their performance at manipulation tasks by rapidly discriminating between task-relevant objects. Data-driven approaches to this tactile perception problem show promise,…
The growing trend of using wearable devices for context-aware computing and pervasive sensing systems has raised its potentials for quick and reliable authentication techniques. Since personal writing habitats differ from each other, it is…
The current practice of dexterous manipulation generally relies on a single wrist-mounted view, which is often occluded and limits performance on tasks requiring multi-view perception. In this work, we present FingerViP, a learning system…
Climate change has become a major problem for humanity in the last two decades. One of the reasons that caused it, is our daily energy waste. People consume electricity in order to use home/work appliances and devices and also reach certain…
The functional replication and actuation of complex structures inspired by nature is a longstanding goal for humanity. Creating such complex structures combining soft and rigid features and actuating them with artificial muscles would…
Nowadays, mobile smart devices are widely used in daily life. It is increasingly important to prevent malicious users from accessing private data, thus a secure and convenient authentication method is urgently needed. Compared with common…
