I am currently co-leading the Everyday Sensing and Perception (ESP) project. The goal of ESP is to develop a system that can infer a user’s context with 90% accuracy over 90% of their day. The specific contexts we are investigating are location (absolute and symbolic), activity (physical and object based) and social interaction (role, speaker identification, etc). To reach a high level of coverage, the ESP research approach is to employ sensors integrated into a user’s mobile devices to sense their environment and how they interact with it. ESP intends to investigate both low data rate sensors (RFID tags, accelerometers, radio scans) as well as high-data rate sensors like video.

 

Past Projects

  • Place Lab
    The goal of the Place Lab project was to build a privacy-observant indoor/outdoor location system for commodity laptops, cell phones and PDAs.
  • PlantCare
    The PlantCare project investigated challenges associated with an automated, sensor and actuator-rich, ubiquitous system.
  • Rain
    Rain is a lightweight XML-based messaging system produced by our lab. Rain is used by both PlantCare and the Location Stack.
  • FlashBack
    The FlashBack projct is developing middleware that provides power-aware, peer-to-peer replication for impoverished devices.

Other Intel research projects I've been involved with:

  • Labscape
    Labscape is deploying ubiquitous computing solutions in a cell biology laboratory.
