Demonstration Of A Platform Architecture That Enables Ultra-Low Power Iot Applications, Jacob Stevens, Hrishikesh Jayakumar, Vijay Raghunathan

The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Symposium

The coming years will see a surge of billions more devices connected in an “Internet of Things” (IoT) that aim to improve the day to day life of humans by sensing relevant physical phenomena and using the data to make intelligent decisions and predictions. But with current devices, this surge will result in billions more batteries needing to be used and changed regularly. The need for batteries—and its impact—can be mitigated through low power devices that harvest ambient energy (e.g. solar, vibrational, thermoelectric, radio wave), but energy harvesting devices require the ability to continue computations across power cycles, a paradigm …
