Funded Activity Summary

Energy-Efficient Human-Sensing with Photovoltaic Internet-of-Things. This project aims to realise a world-first photovoltaic (PV)-based system for device free ubiquitous human monitoring. By harnessing next generation flexible organic PV cells, Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices may be powered using only indoor lighting. Pilot studies show different activities can, in turn, be sensed and recognised by analysing the variations in the energy harvesting patterns in the PV-powered IoT. Given the many social, economic and environmental advantages of cost and energy-efficient sensing – including falls detection for the elderly and power savings in smart building – the proposed research promises multiple benefits while positioning Australia as an IoT innovator.
