Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) Reduction for High-Speed Communications
Description and Need Modern data communication demands ever-increasing transmission rates, with current standards targeting 100 Gbps to 400 Gbps. As symbol rates rise, intersymbol interference (ISI) causes the Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) at the receiver to increase significantly, sometimes exceeding 10 dB. High PAPR requires receivers with a large dynamic range, leading to higher circuit […] Read More >
A Female-Locust-Inspired Hybrid Soft-Stiff Robotic Digger: Mimetics and Implications for Digging Efficiency
Traditional subterranean propagation whether for utility infrastructure, mining, or environmental monitoring often relies on heavy, energy-intensive machinery that removes soil to create space. These methods are frequently destructive, difficult to scale down for precision applications (like biomedical surgery), and struggle in heterogeneous or granular environments. There is a critical market need for minimally invasive, energy-efficient, […] Read More >
Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) of Pedestrian Mobility in the City
Accurate assessment and prediction of pedestrian flows over the urban street network could enable data-driven transportation and city planning for promoting walking and other planning goals related to pedestrian flows. Since the available data collection methods are limited, and too costly to implement on a large urban scale, it is practically unfeasible to measure pedestrian […] Read More >
Calibration of Fiber Optic Sensor Underground
The precise geolocation of underground fiber optic telecom cables is crucial for operator maintenance, to avoid construction-related damage, and to minimize costs during network upgrades. Our innovative calibration technology provides non-instrusive high-accuracy localization of subsurface fiber optic cables, using only video inputs and ambient urban under any noise conditions. In addition, the same data are […] Read More >
Traffic Monitoring Using Fiber Optic Sensor
The rapid development of smart cities and their infrastructure requires innovative solutions for traffic monitoring. Fiber optic sensors offer a high-precision, reliable, anonymous, and cost-effective method for real-time traffic data acquisition and analysis. We have developed an AI-based technology, using fiber-optic sensors for comprehensive traffic monitoring systems, enhancing traffic management and safety. UNMET NEED Current […] Read More >
Print-N-Grip: A Disposable, Compliant, Scalable and One-Shot 3D-Printed Multi-Fingered Robotic Hand
Robotic hands are an important tool for replacing humans in handling toxic or radioactive materials. However, these are usually highly expensive, and in many cases, once they are contaminated, they cannot be re-used. Some solutions cope with this challenge by 3D printing parts of a tendon-based hand. However, fabrication requires additional assembly steps. Therefore, a […] Read More >
High Resolution Robotic Fingers
Traditional robotic hands have a complex structure with many degrees-of-freedom, while they can be large, fragile and with high cost. In addition, they usually cannot perform gentle and precise in-hand manipulation that is required in, for example, medical procedures and assembly of small components. We propose a sophisticated mechanism that enables to augment the capabilities […] Read More >
