WISENT: Wireless (re)programming of batteryless sensors
Themes: Software technology & Intelligent Systems, High Tech
Late lab scale demonstration
A TRL is a measure to indicate the matureness of a developing technology. When an innovative idea is discovered it is often not directly suitable for application. Usually such novel idea is subjected to further experimentation, testing and prototyping before it can be implemented. The image below shows how to read TRL’s to categorise the innovative ideas.

Why?
Truly battery-/wireless implementation of CRFIDs is inhibited by the need for a cable to program the CRFID and the difficulty in streaming data from a reader to the CRFID.
How?
Przemysław developed the Wisent communication protocol that operates on top of the commercial UHF RFID communication protocol. It enables the RFID reader to (re)programme the CRFID even when it's already implanted/embedded.
When?
Future CRFIDs will be able to form a network by communicating with each other. This extends their reach and functionality, bringing even more need for protocols such as Wisent.
