Can radars sense the texture of surfaces? Our work mmTextora models subtle radar phase vibrations to tease apart surface textures for robotic grasping. A cool paper by my students Bert Shan & Yawen Liu presented today at ACM SenSys 2026. Learn more here: witechlab.com/mmtextora.html

The era of small satellite constellations is coming! Yet, the infrastructure to connect them from the ground remains limited. Our new publication, Vista, in @TheOfficialACM TOSN, shows how we can instead use existing ground infrastructure to bootstrap the connectivity bottleneck!
