Researchers at Intel are developing systems that use RFID and sensors to assist people with cognitive impairments. The work could lead to smart homes for the elderly and infirm, and one day, all of us.
Ravikanth Pappu is developing inexpensive plastic tokens that can be used to authenticate items. When combined with RFID tags, they could make it nearly impossible to sell forged goods.
Prof. Ted Selker and his Context Aware Computing Group at MIT are using RFID to power sensors, transmitters and other microelectronic devices.
Researchers at Infineon have found a way to create microchips on common packaging materials. One day, chips may be printed with commercial processes for less than a penny.
The U.S. military is funding the development of low-cost RFID sensors to gather information about battlefield conditions. The same technology could one day tell you when food is spoiled or tainted.
Intel is working with researchers at Berkeley to develop tiny sensors that can form ad hoc networks and provide feedback on the physical world.
University of Pittsburgh professor Marlin Mickle has developed a novel approach to RFID. His PENI tag "harvests" energy to transmit back a unique ID, which improves performance.
BiosGroup's intelligent software agents could play an important role in supply chains by responding automatically to information coming from RFID tags and readers.
Alien Technology has figured how to mass assemble microchips the size of a grain of pepper. The company could transform the RFID industry.
