Abstract Billions of Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) passive tags are produced yearly
to identify goods remotely. New research and business applications are continuously …

In recent years, the number of super high-rise buildings is increasing due to the rapid
development of economy and construction technology. It is important to evaluate the health …

The wireless sensor network (WSN) technology has applied in monitoring natural disasters
for more than one decade. Disasters can be closely monitored by augmenting a variety of …

Limited energy in each node is the major design constraint in wireless sensor networks
(WSNs). To overcome this limit, wireless rechargeable sensor networks (WRSNs) have been …

The rapid, cost-effective, and non-disruptive assessment of bridge deck condition has
emerged as a critical challenge for bridge maintenance. Deck delaminations are a common …

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) allow remote imaging which can be useful in
infrastructure condition evaluation. Furthermore, emerging noncontact sensing techniques …

One critical issue for wireless power transfer is to avoid human health impairments caused
by electromagnetic radiation (EMR) exposure. The existing studies mainly focus on …

In this paper, we consider the scenario in which a mobile charger (MC) periodically travels
within a sensor network to recharge the sensors wirelessly. We design joint charging and …

This paper is intended to provide the state-of-the-art and of-the-practice on visual inspection,
monitoring, and analysis of infrastructure using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Several …

Traditional wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are constrained by limited battery energy that
powers the sensor nodes, which impedes the large-scale deployment of WSNs. Wireless …
