Next-Generation Wireless IoT: Leveraging Radar Sensors & Artificial Intelligence for Transformative Healthcare, Autonomous Systems, and Beyond

Lend us your senses for Sensing in the 21^st Century. This online series comprises some of the most distinguished lecturers in one of the widest technology spectrums in Society. We encourage all of your senses to join!  In IEEE we might agree with Kant when he states “All our knowledge begins with the senses…”!

Dr George Shaker, Lab Dir Wireless Sensors & Devices, Schlegel-University, Adjunct Associate Professor, University of Waterloo will present Next-Generation Wireless IoT: Leveraging Radar Sensors & Artificial Intelligence for Transformative Healthcare, Autonomous Systems, and Beyond.

Time/Date 25^th November at 18.00 GMT.

Guest Lecture focus.

Abstract

This lecture delves into the pivotal role of radar systems in the wireless IoT ecosystem, highlighting their unmatched capabilities in real-time monitoring and decision-making. It explores critical aspects of radar system design—from hardware components to artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms—and demonstrates how these technologies integrate into IoT networks to create scalable and intelligent solutions. By examining applications in healthcare (such as non-invasive glucose sensing and vital signs monitoring), UAV classification, autonomous vehicles and robotic systems enhanced by radar and camera fusion, and the development of digital twins, the lecture showcases how the convergence of radar technology, machine learning, and AI is revolutionizing various sectors and industries. Noting implementation challenges in relation to privacy, equity, and scarcity of resources, we will discuss how this technological fusion is paving the way for a future where intelligent systems seamlessly enhance every aspect of our lives, shaping a more connected and advanced world.
