Abstract

This article describes the history of the Wireless Identification and Sensing Platform (WISP) program. It describes the research motivating the creation of the WISP, its development process, the decision to open source its design, and the creation of the WISP Challenge, a program to make WISPs available to univer-sity researchers. The article then surveys WISP-related research performed by the author’s group, by collaborators, and by others who received WISPs through the WISP Challenge or via other channels
