Wireless Sensing
We at the Wireless Sensing group of WCSNG, focus on designing, researching, developing, and deploying wireless localization and sensing systems for a wide range of applications, including Extended Reality, Indoor Robotics, Navigation, Warehouse management and Industrial IoT 4.0, with the goal of providing accurate and reliable location and sensing estimates for humans, devices, and robots.
Latest News & Updates
- January 2023 A 2nd iteration of [WILD] has been released for a Kaggle competition. More details can be found at [WAIP].
- May 2022: Wide press coverage about our work in P2SLAM, Using everyday WiFi to help robots see and navigate better indoors. UCSD Press Coverage., eurekalert., Azosensors.
- April 2022: The 1st international workshop for Wireless AI perception is happening at CVPR 2022. More details can be found at [WAIP].
- September 2021UCSD News article on ULoc. New Upgrades to Old Wireless Tech Could Enable Real-Time 3D Motion Capture
- April 2020: WCSNG group inspired from the need of contact tracing and proximity sensing, has developed a BLE based proximity sensing called BluBLE to tackle with the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Feb 2019: BLoc published in Dec 2018 has prposed the idea of long sequences of 1's and 0's along with multiple antenna BLE master to enable AoA esitmation along with relative ToF esimation. Later in January 2019, BLE 5.1 has propsoed CTE (series of un-whitened 1's) based protocol for AoA esitmation.
Projects
Open-Source
At WCSNG we develop systems that are deployable and reproducable, So, we open-sourced our Codes, Datasets, and Platform Designs to ensure reproducability and aid also to aid the wireless sensing research in the community.
