Event-triggered control (ETC) holds the potential to significantly improve the efficiency of wireless networked control systems. Unfortunately, its real-world impact has hitherto been hampered by the lack of a network stack able to transfer…

There is growing interest in fully electric vehicles in the automotive industry as it becomes increasingly more difficult to meet new and upcoming emission regulations based on internal combustion engines. Fully electric vehicles do not…

With the increasing number of sensors in modern vehicles, using an Intra-Vehicular Wireless Sensor Network (IVWSN) is a possible solution for the automotive industry to address the potential issues that arise from additional wiring harness.…

Reliable and energy-efficient Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication is crucial for Internet of Things (IoT) applications in dynamic environments. However, the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) and data throughput in BLE are…

Closing feedback loops fast and over long distances is key to emerging applications; for example, robot motion control and swarm coordination require update intervals of tens of milliseconds. Low-power wireless technology is preferred for…

The availability of transistors capable of operating at low supply voltage is essential to improve the key performance metric of computing circuits, i.e., the number of operations per unit energy. In this paper, we propose a new device…

Vehicle electronic systems currently utilize wired networks for power delivery (from the main battery) and communication (e.g., LIN, CAN, FlexRay) between nodes. Wired networks cannot practically accommodate nodes in moving parts (e.g.,…

The sit-to-stand movement is a key feature for wide adoption of powered lower limb orthoses for patients with complete paraplegia. In this paper we study the control of the ascending phase of the sit-to-stand movement for a minimally…

This paper introduces fly-by transit (FBT), a novel mobility system that employs modular mini-electric vehicles (mini-EVs) to provide door-to-door shared mobility with minimal stops. Unlike existing modular minibus concepts that rely on…
