On February 28, 2024, Philofluid Research Group hosted an insightful seminar titled "Ultra-Low Power IoT: Enabling Accurate Sensing Everywhere and Every Time". Organized under the guidance of Prof. D. Tordella, the event took place at Aula 11, Corte Interrata, Cittadella Politecnico, and featured Prof. Alessandro Pozzebon from the University of Padova, Italy, a leading expert in low-power IoT technologies.
The seminar explored the challenges and advancements in creating ultra-low power IoT devices capable of providing accurate real-time data while maintaining long device lifespans with minimal human intervention. Prof. Pozzebon discussed the delicate balance required between power consumption, sensing, processing, and transmission in IoT systems.
A key focus of the seminar was the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into IoT platforms, particularly the concept of "virtual sensing", which allows for enhanced measurement accuracy and optimized energy consumption. This innovation has significant implications for applications in fields such as healthcare, environmental monitoring, and cultural heritage preservation.
Prof. Pozzebon, a Senior Member of IEEE, shared his expertise in distributed measurement applications, drawing from his extensive research in low-power wide-area networks (LPWAN), wireless sensor networks (WSN), and radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies.
The seminar provided valuable insights into the future of ultra-low power IoT, offering attendees an opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research and explore its potential across a wide range of industries.
