A Smart Flooring System for Wireless Building Automation
Through an NSF Small Business Innovation Research Phase I collaboration with POWERleap, Inc, Civionics will be developing a transformative green building technology that overcomes several limitations endemic to building automation systems in use today. Mainly, (a) the high cost of tethered sensor deployment, (b) the dependence on building energy, (c) the inaccuracy of occupancy sensors,...
Wireless Sensing for Urban Search & Rescue
Upon arriving at an incident site in the wake of a terrorist attack or a natural disaster, structures specialists from FEMA’s Urban Search and Rescue (US&R) program are tasked with ensuring the structural stability of partially collapsed buildings. Successful building stabilization limits the risk to first responders as they strive to find and remove trapped...
Intelligent Wireless Sensing Networks
Civionics has assembled a team that includes some of the world’s leaders in developing intelligent, decentralized wireless sensor networks. By using an approach where data is processed by the sensor that collects it before it is transmitted, significantly less data needs to be communicated wirelessly, eliminating common problems associated with bandwidth, battery life, and storage...
