DAEJEON, Aug. 9 (Korea Bizwire) — A South Korean research team has developed ultra-precision, large-scale location recognition technology capable of intricately controlling the movements of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and robots.
Researchers from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) said Tuesday they have created a wireless tag integrated with ultra-precision location recognition capabilities.
This technology significantly enhances signal quality by over a million times, achieved through complete isolation from interfering signals and frequency ranges.
Upon implementation, this advancement enables the effortless management of numerous IoT devices using subtle finger movements, resulting in an elevated level of engagement.
Furthermore, it boasts the ability to instantaneously identify over 1,000 tags within a span of less than 0.5 seconds, facilitating real-time control of multiple devices.
In comparison to ultra-wideband (UWB) technology, the novel wireless tag offers an accuracy improvement of 300 times, detection from distances up to 10 times farther, and scalability increased by 100 times.
This tag also conserves energy required for signal generation by utilizing signal reflection from neighboring sources instead of generating its own wireless signals.
The research team highlighted that the tag can operate without a connected power source, leveraging solar energy or a single coin cell to sustain it for over 40 years, rendering it highly suitable for extensive operations.
