However\, today’s technologies still face fundamental obstacles\, whic h prevent them from seamlessly extending to complex domains like the ocean \, the human body\, or supply chain environments.\n\nIn this talk\, I will describe new technologies developed by my group that allow us to bring th e Internet-of-Things (IoT) to extreme environments. First\, I will describ e a new generation of underwater sensor networks that can sense\, compute\ , and communicate without requiring any batteries\; our devices enable rea l-time and ultra-long-term monitoring of ocean vitals (temperature\, press ure\, coral reefs) with important applications to scientific exploration\, underwater climate monitoring\, and defense. Next\, I will talk about new wireless technologies for sensing the human body\, both from inside the b ody (via micro-implants) as well as from a distance (contactless)\, paving the way for novel diagnostic and treatment methods. Finally\, I will desc ribe new RFID-based micro-logistics solutions that can bring extreme visib ility to supply chain processes\, with applications to retail\, warehousin g\, and manufacturing\; these technologies also allow us to extend robotic perception beyond line-of-sight\, enabling robots to perform complex mani pulation tasks that were not possible before.\n\nThe talk will cover how w e have designed and built these technologies\, and how we work with medica l doctors\, climatologists\, oceanographers\, and industry practitioners t o deploy them in the real world. I will also highlight the open problems a nd opportunities for these technologies\, and how researchers and engineer s can build on our open-source tools to help drive them to their full pote ntial in addressing global challenges in climate\, health\, and automation .\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE ComSoc NY Chapter\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Fadel Adib \, \n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/266874 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/266874 ORGANIZER:eman.hammad.ca@ieee.org SEQUENCE:2 SUMMARY:Extreme IoT: Wireless & Sensor Technologies for Oceans\, Health\, a nd Robotics URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/266874 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>The evolution of communication technologie s over the past 140 years has enabled ubiquitous connectivity with billion s of sensors globally.
