Come join us as students present their project ideas leveraging novel information and communication technologies to support social causes worldwide, while competing for $10,000 in prizes. Winners will be chosen by a distinguished panel of judges to receive seed funding to further advance their ideas.
In this talk, Gene Wang and David Moss will discuss the Energy Internet ofThings and describe how Brains in the Cloud can connect with billions of sensor-based nerves and muscles in the physical world to go places the Internet never dreamed of.
One of the key challenges to enabling an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) to explore an unknown environment is the ability to navigate. In the past, navigation was typically done using either an acoustic array or by dead-reckoning based on inertial instruments.
In recent years, the technocratic urban planning establishment has begun to recognize that small-scale, creative, temporary, tactical urban interventions are a powerful instrument for spatial research and experimentation. New collaborative strategies between artists, designers and city agencies have emerged, resulting in urban spaces that are iterative, modular, flexible and designed, in part and over time, by the people who use them.
A Memorial Service for Dr. Gary Baldwin, Director of Special Projects, CITRIS @ Berkeley will be held in Palo Alto on Sunday, January 16, 2011 at 2:30pm
Several new application platforms use static permission systems to restrict access to system API resources. Two prominent examples are the Android OS application platform and the Google Chrome extension system. Developers request permissions for their applications, and the user decides during installation whether those permissions are acceptable.
CITRIS Researchers are working on a project to “teach” robots to function in the operating room as human surgical assistants. This work is currently highlighted in U.S. News and World Report.
Traditional businesses follow a simple formula: create a product or service, sell it, collect money. But in the last few years a fundamentally different model has taken root — one in which consumers have more choices, more tools, more information, and more peer-to-peer power. Pioneering entrepreneur Lisa Gansky calls it the Mesh and reveals why it will soon dominate the future of business.
As traditional CMOS technology scaling has essentially ended, electronic systems can no longer simply increase functionality or performance without dissipating more power. In order to surmount this challenge and enable many emerging applications, integrated circuit designers must turn their attention to energy efficiency as their primary driver.
