The Auto-ID Center envisions a world in which every object is electronically tagged with information pertinent to that object. We envision a use for electromagnetic tags in enabling all physical objects to act as nodes in a networked physical world. This will yield a wide range of benefits in diverse areas including supply chain management and inventory control, product tracking, location identification, and human-object interfaces. We would like to invite Course 6 students to join us in creating a new architecture for this emerging networked physical world. A nontrivial subset of the following is helpful.
Freshmen are welcome.
