Battery-Free Game Boy
Sustainable Interactive Devices
Any future mobile electronic device with which a user interacts (smartphone, hand-held game console) should not pollute our planet. Consequently, designers need to rethink how to build mobile devices with fewer components that negatively impact the environment (by replacing batte

The ecological impact of today’s battery-powered Internet of Things (IoT) is troubling. Technology advancements that reduce the reliance on batteries could blunt the environmental impact of the projected billions of IoT devices. With the emergence of low-cost, small, and high-per

We present an architecture for intermittently-powered wireless communication systems that does not require any changes to the official protocol specification. Our core idea is to save the intermediate state of the wireless protocol to non-volatile memory within each connection ...
We present ENGAGE, the first battery-free, personal mobile gaming device powered by energy harvested from the gamer actions and sunlight. Our design implements a power failure resilient Nintendo Game Boy emulator that can run off-the-shelf classic Game Boy games like Tetris or ...
Debugging and testing battery-free intermittently-powered systems is notoriously difficult. This is not only due to the additional complexity of maintaining state through power failures but also due to the lack of proper tools to test and debug these systems. As a solution, we pr

Energy-harvesting devices have enabled Internet of Things applications that were impossible before. One core challenge of batteryless sensors that operate intermittently is reliable timekeeping. State-of-the-art low-power real-time clocks suffer from long start-up times (order of

Batteryless Internet of Things (IoT) devices powered by energy harvesting enable sustainable and maintenance-free operation, but face challenges in achieving synchronised bidirectional communication between intermittently-powered nodes. This thesis presents CardioSync, a novel fr

This thesis proposes an ultra-low-power architecture for wireless Internet of Things end devices. The architecture enabled a prototype that can run a mainstream wireless protocol with an extremely limited power budget.
This work presents the first robust connection mode for Bluetooth Low Energy on an energy harvesting sensor.

Existing tools for debugging battery-free applications are limited to specific architectures or require code changes of the Device Under Test (DUT) to function. These tools also cannot measure the efficiency of the application designed for battery-free systems. Currently, there i
