Smart Hive: Design and development of a system for the effective management of beekeeping challenges and issues, which currently require periodic on-site inspection of beehives, resulting in increased costs and loss of valuable response time. The system, after collecting a set of measurements (sound, temperature, humidity, and hive condition), applies low-complexity decision-making algorithms to recognize early phenomena related to the “health” of the bee colony. The proposed solution is energy autonomous and requires limited computational and storage resources.

Indoor positioning system development, based on modern wireless technologies (Ultrawide band) and intelligent processing algorithms for accurate coordinate creation, validation, and propagation.

Pipe leakage detection, with the development of an acquisition system that monitors vibrations (accelerometer-based) and the processing algorithm for the proper creation of leakage alerts in industrial pipes.

Earthquake monitoring, based on the implementation of low power 24/7 instrumentation systems based on MEMS sensors and modern instrumentation system design. The proposed system is energy-aware in order to maximize its operation time. The accuracy of measurements are comparable to state-of-the-art commercial devices for seismology.

Dosimetry system development, by combining novel electronics sensors with modern functionality (low power, autonomous operation, portability).

Environmental monitoring, based on the development and deployment of a wide spectrum of instrumentation systems, with a variety of sensors, battery operated, and solar panel supported.
