Ultra-cyberPhysical system for tRuly wIrelesS chargING (UPRISING)

Description of the granted funding

The wired charging and need of battery replacements are critical barriers for scalable and sustainable mobile connectivity over time. UPRISING is committed to radio frequency (RF)-wireless power transfer (WPT) for breaking this barrier because its potential for realizing long-range multi-user mobile charging. The main reasons of why RF-WPT solutions have not flooded the market are: i) low end-to-end power transfer efficiency (PTE), ii) people's fear of wireless, and iii) lack of technology standardization. There is an urgent need of developing PTE-boosting, cost-efficient, and risk-aware guarantees on the people's exposure to electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation, to make RF-WPT attractive and competitive. UPRISING introduces and optimizes a cyberphysical system addressing these challenges, thus, leading to a functional and competitive indoor RF-WPT system. UPRISING helps mature RF-WPT technology, increasingly bringing the attention of companies, startups, and global market.
