Eurowearable '03 at the University of Birmingham, 4th & 5th September 2003

 

Wearable Computing Systems

As a research unit in a Department of Electronic, Electrical and Computer Engineering, we have an interest in the hardware design of wearable computing systems. Our projects employ a range of microcprocessors and microcontrollers. For example, we have built various microcontroller-based systems with various members of the 8-bit Microchip PIC and 16-bit Renesas (formerly Mitsubishi) M16C processors (see here for examples). Our high-end x3 systems employ PC104 standard Pentium II and III processors.

Current research also includes mid-range processors, such as the Intel StrongARM SA1110 and XScale PXA255. The main aim is to develop a platform that can be used for developing wearable systems.
