Smart Sensing and Systems Laboratory (S³ Lab)

At the Smart Sensing and Systems Laboratory (S³ Lab), our educational philosophy is founded on Project-based Learning, giving students hands-on experiences that bridge academic theory with real-world applications. Our research activities focus on the intersection of efficient intelligent systems and sustainable sensing technologies and embedded systems, exploring innovative solutions for real-world applications and future technology challenges. Specifically, our areas of specialization include the following: 

• Edge AI and Intelligent Systems and Sensors: We develop artificial intelligence algorithms optimized for execution on low-power devices and design sensors capable of autonomously perceiving and interpreting the environment. 

• Wireless Sensor Networks and Low-Power IoT: We study efficient communication architectures and protocols to ensure the connectivity and sustainability of large-scale distributed systems. 

• Embedded Systems and Energy Harvesting: Our research extends to foundational technologies, such as the design of embedded systems and the development of energy harvesting techniques to create fully self-powered smart devices. 

• Cube-Sats Autonomous Robots: We design and develop Cuba-Sats for earth observation and autonomous robots for complex scenarios and industrial applications.
