Design Feasibility of an Energy-efficient Wrist Flexion-Extension Exoskeleton using Compliant Beams and Soft Actuators

Passive and active exoskeletons have been used over recent decades. However, regarding many physiological systems, we see that the majority explore both active and passive elements to minimize energy consumption while retaining proper motion control. In light of this, we propose a design that combines compliant mechanisms as passive support...

Nimbus: Towards Latency-Energy Efficient Task Offloading for AR Services

Widespread adoption of mobile augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) applications depends on their smoothness and immersiveness. Modern AR applications applying computationally intensive computer vision algorithms can burden today's mobile devices, and cause high energy consumption and/or poor performance. To tackle this challenge, it...
