New Directions in Vehicle Communications

Recently, the research community's focus has shifted to new directions in 5G and 6G wireless networks. This shift, driven by advances in the automotive industry and the growing demand for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs), is ushering in a new era of networked wireless systems. The promise of CAVs to deliver safer travel, reduced pollution, and optimized solutions is a compelling driver for this transformation. 

Reaching Toward the Metaverse

The advent of the Metaverse concept has expedited the evolution of haptic, tactile internet, and multimedia applications with their VR/AR/XR services. Fully immersive sensing is likely to define the next generation of wireless networks as a key to realizing the vision of the Metaverse. The potential economic impact of the Metaverse is significant, with the total market projected to reach between US$8-13 trillion by 2030. Furthermore, Gartner predicts that 25% of people will spend at least one hour daily on the Metaverse platform for personal and professional purposes.

Advances in Cancer Detection

Breast cancer represents 12.5% of all newly diagnosed cancer cases globally, establishing it as the most prevalent form of cancer worldwide. It accounts for around 30% of all newly diagnosed female cancers in the United States.

At the Crossroads of Logistics and Corporate Social Responsibility

A Vision of 6G URLLC

The emergence of 6G communication heralds a new era of possibilities, enabling critical applications like traffic detection, forest fire recognition, emergency search and rescue, and widespread communication broadcasting. However, what sets 6G apart is its demand for a robust communication framework with ultra-low latency, a feature that will revolutionize these services. 

Motion Tracking Framework for Intuitive Interactions

For tasks that are difficult to accomplish with traditional interactive devices, this significantly improves the efficiency of human-computer interaction. It can be widely used in military, entertainment, sports, medical applications, robot technology, and even the metaverse. Still, existing technology for finger motion tracking often requires wearing a heavy device and a laborious calibration process to track the bending angle of each joint.

Mapping Regenerative Braking for EVs

Today’s EVs and HEVs use regenerative braking systems (RBS) to recapture some of the energy spent during driving. With the advancement in connectivity and autonomous driving technologies, there is a significant opportunity to harness these features further to boost efficiency. 

Navigation Techniques for Virtual Reality

Navigation is a fundamental element in virtual reality (VR) applications, as it is essential for exploring space and finding one's way. Different locomotion techniques can lead to variations in how users control their movements in response to dynamic obstacles, potentially affecting users' task performance and experience.

Using AI Technologies to Enhance Mobility

In a rapidly evolving world, inclusivity and accessibility are essential principles in a society that is continually changing and marked by technological breakthroughs. One critical domain where these principles are paramount is mobility for individuals with physical disabilities. With the developments of modern techniques, many distinct kinds of devices—including wheelchairs — are available to help with mobility. 

Digital Technology for Agriculture

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, extended reality, and 6G technologies represents a significant leap, enabling real-time monitoring and automation in farming practices, promising a future of increased productivity and reduced environmental impact.
