Mote and TinyOS Demonstration at 29 Palms
  • UAV drops nodes along road:
    • hot-water pipe insulation for package
  • Nodes self configure into linear network:
    • Synchronize to 1/32 sec
    • Calibrate magnetometers
      • correct for earth’s magnetic field
    • Each detects passing vehicle
    • Share filtered sensor data with five neighbors
    • Each calculates estimated direction & velocity
    • Share results
  • As plane passes by:
    • Joins network
    • Upload as much of missing dataset as possible
      from each node when in range

Is the End of Moore’s Law an Economic One?
  • Silicon is not suited for low-end human-centric consumer appliances
    • Baseline costs of traditional chips are high
    • Cannot easily integrate human interaction component
  • The solution: Organic Semiconductors
    • “Spray on circuits” – no clean rooms
    • Easy to integrate display, computation and sensing

A MEMS Microgenerator
26
The Rotary Microengine
  • Measured power in mini-engine
    (3.7 W @ 9300 RPM)
  • Fabrication of 3 mm meso-scale engine complete
  • Fabrication of 1 mm micro-rotary engine initiated
27
CITRIS is a Partnership with Industry
  • “I believe we are now entering the Renaissance phase of the Information Age, where creativity and ideas are the new currency, and invention is a primary virtue, where technology truly has the power to transform lives, not just businesses, where technology can help us solve fundamental problems.”
  • Carly Fiorina, CEO, Hewlett Packard Corporation
28
Berkeley Engineering: A Tradition of Impact in Research
  • Berkeley Unix
  • Relational Database Technology
  • Electronic Design Automation: SPICE to Synopsys
  • RISC (with Stanford)
  • RAID
  • CyberCut online manufacturing systems
  • NOW (Networks of Workstations)
  • IEEE Floating Point
  • Infopad (now called WebPad)
  • Semiconductor Devices & Modeling
