Description du projet
Un système IdO réellement durable et hautement flexible
La durabilité des technologies de l’internet des objets (IdO) est essentielle et doit être prise en compte dès la phase de conception et d’implémentation. Dans cette optique, le projet SUPERIOT, financé par l’UE, développera un système IdO réellement durable et hautement flexible, basé sur la communication optique et radio et sur l’exploitation de la technologie de l’électronique imprimée pour mettre en œuvre des nœuds IdO durables. L’approche bimodale optique-radio fournit des caractéristiques uniques au système IdO reconfiguré pour utiliser des approches de connectivité optique, radio ou les deux. Ce système hybride combinera les avantages des deux méthodes de communication sans fil. Les nœuds autonomes en énergie récolteront de l’énergie des deux sources et disposeront de fonctionnalités IdO essentielles telles que des capacités de détection, d’actionnement et de calcul. Le projet permettra également d’identifier, de développer et de faire la démonstration d’applications pour le concept proposé.
Objectif
SUPERIOT aims at developing a truly sustainable and highly flexible IoT system based on the use of optical and radio communications, and the exploitation of printed electronics technology for the implementation of sustainable IoT nodes. The dual-mode optical-radio approach provides unique characteristics to the IoT system. The system can be reconfigured to use optical, radio, or both connectivity approaches. The hybrid optical-radio system allows very efficient use of resources while combining the advantages of both wireless communication methods. Energy autonomous nodes can harvest energy from both sources, resulting in an efficient and reliable energy system. Positioning accuracy can be also improved by combining optical and radio signals. Moreover, the dual-mode approach results in a highly flexible and adaptable communication system, that can operate efficiently under changing conditions and in different scenarios. The implementation of the IoT nodes will aim at maximizing printed electronics usage, resulting in a cost-efficient, environmentally friendly solution. Nodes will have essential IoT functionalities such as sensing, actuating, and computational capabilities. As important as the development of a sustainable and flexible IoT node will be the development of its networking capabilities. The project will also identify, develop, and demonstrate applications for the proposed concept. Four demonstrators will be developed at the final stage of the project, including a) Reconfigurable optical-radio IoT node implemented with printed and conventional electronics technologies (Application: smart tags), b) Reconfigurable optical-radio IoT network (Application: logistics in medical ICT scenarios), c) Limited capability IoT node implemented with printed electronics technology only, and d) Large-area IoT node/repeater. The SUPERIOT concept is based on developing an IoT system that is both sustainable by design and sustainable by implementation.
