Green Light for the Earth
Educational talk (demo) about sustainable technology (creation of wireless devices without need for batteries)
Due to the ever-increasing usage of wireless communication systems and the uptake of Internet of Things (IoT), the carbon footprint caused by communication keeps increasing. Battery disposal causes harm to the environment, and, as the number of IoT grows, replacing the battery of each IoT device on earth is not viable anymore.
We give an educational talk about the need of creating sustainable technology, accompanied by a demo, where we showed an IoT device that operates without batteries and it can communicate its data to Internet. Cutting-edge LiFi and RF backscatter technologies are merged for sustainable communication.
Day: 27-November-2020
Time: 11:00 am (Madrid time)
Speakers:
Domenico Giustiniano (Research Associate Professor)
Borja Genovés (Post-Doc Researcher)
Muhammad Sarmad Shahab Mir (PhD Student)
Ambuj Varshney (Postdoctoral Researcher at University of California, Berkeley)

Debido al uso cada vez mayor de sistemas de comunicación inalámbricos y la adopción de Internet de las cosas (IoT), la huella de carbono causada por la comunicación sigue aumentando. La eliminación de la batería causa daños al medio ambiente y, a medida que aumenta la cantidad de IoT, ya no es viable reemplazar la batería de cada dispositivo de IoT en la tierra.
Damos una charla educativa sobre la necesidad de crear tecnología sustentable, acompañada de una demostración, donde mostramos un dispositivo IoT que opera sin baterías y puede comunicar sus datos a Internet. Las tecnologías de retrodispersión de RF y LiFi de vanguardia se fusionan para una comunicación sostenible.
