The Internet Of Things

In the last years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a key application context in the design and evolution of technologies in the transition toward a 5G ecosystem. More and more IoT technologies have entered the market and represent important enablers in the deployment of networks of interconnected devices. As network and spatial device densities grow, energy efficiency and consumption are becoming an important aspect in analyzing the performance and suitability of different technologies. In this framework, this survey presents an extensive review of IoT technologies, including both Low-Power Short-Area Networks (LPSANs) and Low-Power Wide-Area Networks (LPWANs), from the perspective of energy efficiency and power consumption. Existing consumption models and energy efficiency mechanisms are categorized, analyzed and discussed, in order to highlight the main trends proposed in literature and standards toward achieving energy-efficient IoT networks. Current limitations and open challenges are also discussed, aiming at highlighting new possible research directions.

Wheels and legs are two widely accepted methodology used to move the moving platform to the ground. Wheels are human inventions, the rolls in a straight country excel in energy efficiency and speed of movement. Hybrid platform for integrating the benefits of legs and wheels with high mobility of both seems to be the "future" of mobile platforms for indoor and outdoor environment. This paper describes the design leg-wheel chassis for service robot.

Level Converter

For efficient ultra-low power IoT applications, working with various communication devices and sensors which operating voltages  from subthreshold to superthreshold levels which requires wide variety of robust level converters for signal interfacing with low power dissipation. This paper proposes two topologies of level converter circuits that offer dramatic improvement in power and performance when compared to the existing level converters that shift signals from sub to super threshold levels for IoT applications. At 250 mV, the first proposed circuit - a modification of a tradition al current mirror level converter - offers the best energy efficiency with approximately seven times less energy consumption per operation than the existing design, but suffers from a slight reduction in performance.  However, a second proposed circuit - based on a two-stage level converter - at the same voltage enhances performance by several orders of magnitude while still maintaining a modest improvement in energy efficiency.  The Energy Delay Products (EDP) of the two proposed designs are equivalent and are approximately four times better than the best existing design.  Consequently, the two circuit options either optimizes power or performance with improved overall EDP.
