Amelia's Weekly Fish Fry

Are you ready for some robots?! We're not talking about just any robots; this week we're focusing on the quiet revolution of grippers, sensors, and collaborative automation taking place on our factory floors. My guest is Jen Kwiatkowski from Robotiq! Jen and I dive deep into the world of collaborative robotics. We explore the future of human-robot interaction in manufacturing, how Robotiq is solving key industry challenges, and the crucial role that accessibility and ease-of-use play in driving the adoption of automation.

My podcast guest this week is Meghali Chopra, CEO and Co-Founder of Sandbox Semiconductor. Meghali and I investigate how Sandbox Semiconductor is empowering the semiconductor manufacturing industry with the help of user-friendly, domain-specific software solutions. Meghali and I also walk through the different components of their Sandbox Studio including their AI analysis and visualization application called Sandbox Oculus, the analytics provided by their platform, and Sandbox Envision which helps engineers to visually interact with their process models and data. Also, this week I take a closer look at the curious similarity between the memory processing of AI models and the hippocampus of the human brain.

We are diving headfirst into the world of RTL design this week! Rob Knoth (Cadence Design Systems) and I chat about RTL design and implementation issues facing engineers today, the details of Cadence’s Joules RTL Design Studio and the role that artificial intelligence plays in this solution. Also this week, I check out the world's first human brain-scale neuromorphic supercomputer.

My podcast guest this week is Mattias Wagner from Flux! Mattias and I investigate the role that AI plays in the Flux PCB design platform. We also delve into the details of the Flux Method, Flux Model and Flux Co-pilot, and discuss why working smarter not harder is cornerstone to the Flux mission. I also investigate why the discovery of phosphorus in the outer reaches of the galaxy could have major implications for the possibility of alien life. 

Autonomous driving takes center stage in this week's Fish Fry podcast! Steven Latré from imec and I are talking all about SWIR, lidar, mm-wave radar, sensor fusion, the growing need for architectural redefinition of computation hardware in autonomous driving and a whole lot more!

In this week’s Fish Fry podcast, I’m going deep into the world of atomic-level process engineering with Keren Kanarik from Lam Research. Keren and I discuss how artificial intelligence can help speed up the process and lower the cost of chip innovation. We also investigate the engineering and AI challenges this research was looking to solve and the strategies that Keren and her team at Lam Research developed over the course of this ground-breaking research. Also this week, I take a closer look at new research from University of Hawaii at Manoa that suggests that electrons from Earth may be forming water on the moon.

This week’s Fish Fry podcast is all about AI modeling for automotive applications.  Seth DeLand (MathWorks) and I discuss the common challenges that automotive engineers face when implementing simulation into AI modeling, which automotive applications would benefit most from simulation, and why data preparation is a crucial step in the AI workflow during model-based design for automotive applications. 

In this week's Fish Fry podcast, Jo De Boeck (imec) joins me to chat about one of the hottest topics at this year’s ITF World - autonomous driving! Jo and I discuss the biggest challenges surrounding perception in autonomous driving, why there is a need for new compute paradigms in this arena and how imec is strengthening a variety of technology ecosystems through system technology co-optimization.

Artificial intelligence takes center stage in this week’s Fish Fry podcast! My guest Johanna Pingel (MathWorks) and I examine the benefits of using artificial intelligence for low code, the best practices in this arena, what applications would be a good fit for AI for low code and the super cool stuff MathWorks is doing in this space. Also this week, I investigate a new realm of AI exploration in medical applications… can AI ask AI for a second opinion? 

In this week’s podcast, my guest is DAC60 Engineering Tracks Program Chair Ambar Sarkar. Ambar and I chat all about this year’s Design Automation Conference including the new aspects of this year’s exhibition and conference, the RISC-V zone, what you can expect from this year’s visionary talks and keynotes, and the details of the DAC60 Celebration Panel called Designing the Future. Also this week, I investigate how AI coupled with the of 233 different primate species could help us unlock the mysteries of disease-causing genetic mutations in humans.
