Message from Jim Sipes, Chair, IEEE Denver Section, Jim Sipesjsipes@ieee.org

Happy Holidays!

What a year it has been! I’m sure many of us expected that by now the pandemic would be behind us and life would be returning to normal. I certainly did. But we’ve been able to continue with most of our activities, even if in a somewhat modified, and frequently somewhat less satisfying, form.

The year began with the announcement of the 2021 class of IEEE Fellows, and the list included two members of the Denver section – Prof. Michael Wakin, professor of EE, Colorado School of Mines, and Prof. David Wenzhong Gao, professor of EE, University of Denver. Congratulations to them both.

In the spring, the Denver section hosted the 13th IEEE Green Technologies Conference, and the Annual Region 5 Conference and Student Competitions. Pivoting from in-person meetings to an all-virtual format was what one might call exciting, but the team pulled it off quite well.

The GreenTech conference was very well attended, with papers submitted and attendees joining from quite literally all over the globe. Thanks go to the organizing committee team led by the General Chair, Abd Arkadan, and consisting of Marcelo Simoes as Technical Programs Chair, Ahmed Mohamed as Publications Chair, Ian MacMillan as Operations Chair, David Wenzhong Gao as Tracks, Workshops and Special Sessions Chair, Bri-Mathias Hodges as Industrial Program Chair, Charles Okaeme as Exhibitors Chair, and Alisha Humphries as Conference Treasurer.

Mike Mattice and Jim Harrer did a great job of structuring a (virtual) robotics competition, as did Neill Kefauver with the (virtual) poster competition, Steve Watkins with the (virtual) student ethicseCompetition, and Christopher Coulston with the (virtual) circuit design competition.

Throughout the year we have had a total of 29 elevations of membership to senior member or life-senior member within the section, representing approximately 1% of the total section membership. Congratulations to all who have achieved this recognition.

The elevation in grade to senior member is done in recognition of a member’s accomplishments over a period of at least ten years, with some credit being provided for education.

For those not familiar with process, the upgrade can either be self-nominated, or the nomination can be made by a society or a section. If self-nominated, references to support the nomination are needed by three current senior members; if nominated by a Society or the Section, only two additional references are needed. The section maintains a list of senior members who have volunteered to “give back” by serving as references for other members seeking the upgrade.

So, if you feel ready to apply for senior member upgrade but are concerned about having the needed references, just let me know. I can serve as your nominator for the section and provide names as references. Or if you are already a senior member and would like to volunteer to be a reference for others, please let me know.

As always, we continue to have many opportunities to contribute as a volunteer to the section or to your chapter/group of choice, and all are welcome at the monthly ExCom meetings on the third Tuesday of the month (except December and July).

I expect that these meetings will remain in virtual format at least until the current omicron Covid variant is better understood. There is a listing of the current chapters and groups supported by the Denver section on the section’s website, https://ieee-denver.org, under the menu heading Denver groups. Contacts for each of the chapters/groups are available on the individual chapter/group websites.

That’s all for now, so until next time, stay safe. Best wishes to you and your family and have a happy holiday season.

Jim

6G in 2024? – Ha!

It was during my usual morning routine as I was scrolling my feeds and emails when I came across this. I must say it was the best morning laugh I have had in a long time. In what universe (to paraphrase Sheldon Cooper from “Big Bang Theory” fame) is that going to happen? Well, it seems everybody is jumping on the 6G bandwagon of late.

India has had nothing but struggles to get 5G going. There have been reports after reports about how India is struggling with spectrum, regulations, infrastructure, and they want us to believe they can have 6G running by the end of 2023. Heck, they will not even auction off any advanced 5G spectrum until 2022 according to India’s Minister for Communication Ashwini Vaishnaw. Nor do they have a native 5G software for their core yet.

When it comes to spectrum, India is getting ready to auction off spectrum in bands starting as low as 700 MHz to 3,600 MHz bands. There is also mmWave spectrum in that pile.

Not that India does not have a wealth of intellectual capability. I see and publish bleeding-edge papers from them all of the time. So, it is not at all difficult to believe India can develop B5G technologies. However, understand that B5G is a wish list today. While there is certainly research and studies going on and, theses and antitheses’ being published, it is years away from any kind of congealed mass, or from, or platform, or technology, or whatever tangible something we can work with.

It also depends upon where we want to draw the B5G line. If we set a low bar for it, sure, maybe in a few years we will see some hardware that can up the ante for radiating elements. However, one must also remember that there is a wide gray area where 5G and B5G will coexist for years. In fact, I believe there will never be a distinct delimiter between the two. B5G will simply be the advancement of 5G until we find a different way to transmission information beyond wireless – and who knows when or even if that will ever occur. But there are some really interesting reads about this.

The news came from Vaishnaw who claims development work on B5G (as I like to call it) has already started. So, India now just joins a group of countries that are dipping their toes in the B5G waters. That is not news.

But to claim that working 6G will be seen in the next year to 18 months is, to me, pure hype, not even wishful thinking. Especially since the majority of other governments and private research is shooting for 2028 at the earliest. And that will likely be the evolution of advanced platforms in B5G by the inclusion of elements such as AI, XR (eXtended reality), Internet of Anything/Everything (IoX), autonomous vehicles, intelligent machines, and more.

Is it reasonable to expect to see the inklings of B5G by the end of the decade? I am confident that this is a reasonable timetablre. But what we will see will only be a peak at 6G and more likely the maturation of 5G as it scales and evolves. True revolutionary wireless networks will likely be closer to 2035.

That is not to say that we will not see some amazing advancements in what wireless can accomplish (holographs for example). But these are being touted as being part of 5G as well, as are the other above-mentioned platforms/technologies.

Right now, just about anything goes with xG. There are no hard and fast lines in the sand where 5G ends and B5G begins. As I said earlier, there may never be. 5G will continue to evolve for at least a decade or two. Whether, at some point, we decide to call it something other than B5G is probably in the hands of the marketers and hypsters.


IEEE Distinguished Lecturer Presentation

How Robotics are Revolutionizing Rehabilitation. by Hermano Igo Krebs

Virtual Presentation on January 5th, 2022, 12-1 PM MST (United States)

Register here: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/tego_/event/manage/293756

 

 

MIT’s motto is “Mens et Manus” (Mind and Hand), and Dr. Krebs and his MIT 77Lab have taken this as a guiding rule for a new line of robotics research: using robotics and information technology to reconnect the brain to the hand. This Presentation describes how he and his Lab have developed a gym of applications to help heal stroke patients and others with nerve injuries.

“We pioneered the field of rehabilitation robotics starting with the development of the MIT-Manus in 1989 and developed multiple robotic tools: the MIT-Manus, wrist, hand, anti-gravity, pelvis, anklebot, pediatric anklebot, and MIT-skywalker. These robots have provided most of the clinical data supporting the use of robotics to the upper extremity (American Heart Association, Veterans Administration, Dep of Defense Guidelines for Stroke Care).”

Abstract

How Robotics are Revolutionizing Rehabilitation

January 5th, 2022, 12-1 PM MST (United States)

Abstract: Capitalizing on the new understanding of brain plasticity, we introduced a paradigm shift in clinical practice in 1989 when we initiated the development of the MIT-Manus robot for neuro-rehabilitation and deployed it into the clinic. Since then, we collected evidence to support the potential of enhancing and augmenting recovery following a stroke, first during the sub-acute and then the chronic phase. Our efforts and that of others led to the endorsements starting in 2010 from the American Heart Association, the American Stroke Association, and the Veterans Administration for the use of rehabilitation robots for the Upper Extremity, but not yet for the Lower Extremity. AHA recommendations were the same in the 2016 revision. Furthermore, it was demonstrated in the VA system that upper extremity robotic therapy has an economic advantage over manual therapy. More recently we completed a pragmatic study RATULS under the auspices of the National Health Service of the United Kingdom and its NIHR Health Technology Assessment Programme, which enrolled 770 stroke patients. Thus, we have developed novel robotic treatment and evaluation tools and have managed to collect the experimental evidence that demonstrates the unequivocal therapeutic benefits stemming from robot-aided rehabilitation for the upper extremity as well as present shortcomings. This talk will present an overview of our past rehabilitation robotics efforts and more recent efforts addressing the identified shortcomings.

 

Dr. Hermano Igo Krebs is a Principal Research Scientist and Lecturer at MIT’s Mechanical Engineering Department and the Director of The77Lab (https://the77lab.mit.edu/). He holds an affiliate position as an Adjunct Professor at University of Maryland School of Medicine, Department of Neurology, and as a Visiting Professor at Fujita Health University, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (Japan), at Osaka University, Mechanical Science and Bioengineering Department (Japan), and at Loughborough University, Rehabilitation Robotics of The Wolfson School of Mechanical, Electrical, and Manufacturing Engineering (UK). He is a Fellow of the IEEE and was nominated to this distinguished engineering status “for contributions to rehabilitation robotics and the understanding of neuro-rehabilitation.” He received “The 2009 Isabelle and Leonard H. Goldenson Technology and Rehabilitation Award,” from the Cerebral Palsy International Research Foundation (CPIRF), the 2015 IEEE-INABA Technical Award for Innovation leading to Production “for contributions to medical technology innovation and translation into commercial applications for Rehabilitation Robotics,” and he was selected as a 2021 IEEE-EMBS Distinguished Lecturer (2021/2022). He was one of the founders, member of the Board of Directors, and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Interactive Motion Technologies from 1998 to 2016. He successfully sold it to Bionik Laboratories, a publicly traded company, where he served as its Chief Science Officer and as a member of the Board of Directors until July 2017. He later founded 4Motion Robotics.

Special Issue on Recent Advances in Automated Driving Technologies

Important Dates

Manuscript Submission by: 29 October 2021
First Round Reviews by: 28 January 2022

We live in the era of the advent of automated vehicles. These machines will bring dramatic changes to both the automotive industry and everyday life, revolutionizing the concept of passenger mobility. Perception is crucial for an autonomous vehicle, and presents important challenges, many of which are still to be addressed. The choice of sensors is pivotal, yet there is still no general consensus on what the “best” sensory equipment should consist of. Perception-related information is then used to make timely decisions on path planning and vehicle dynamics control, to ensure efficient and safe vehicle behavior. In this context, the importance of the role of machine learning algorithms is increasing quickly, in the generation of trajectories perceivable as “natural” by the car occupants for example, or in object recognition.

This Special Issue encourages researchers working in this field to share their latest developments on sensing and perception, path planning and decision making, machine learning and control using data-driven learning or physics-driven algorithms, focusing on technologies directly applicable to autonomous vehicles. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
