Ultrasonic backscatter communication has gained popularity in recent years where piezoceramic resonators are used as acoustic antennas. Currently, backscatter communication revolves around the amplitude modulation of the echo signal by the…
We provide a solution toward compact and low-loss three dimensional (3D) photonic circuits by femtosecond laser direct writing of 3D waveguides in fused silica. We suppress the bend loss by sandwiching the waveguide between a pair of walls…
Compressive sensing has been receiving a great deal of interest from researchers in many areas because of its ability in speeding up data acquisition. This framework allows fast signal acquisition and compression when signals are sparse in…
The task object tracking is vital in numerous applications such as autonomous driving, intelligent surveillance, robotics, etc. This task entails the assigning of a bounding box to an object in a video stream, given only the bounding box…
Rotational displacement about the grasping point is a common grasp failure when an object is grasped at a location away from its center of gravity. Tactile sensors with soft surfaces, such as GelSight sensors, can detect the rotation…
Piezoelectric micro-electro-mechanical systems have significant market potential owing to their superior capabilities of transduction to those of standard capacitive and piezoresistive devices. However, piezoelectric films are often lossy,…
