“Success is where preparation and opportunity meet.” Bobby Unser

Many of us would love to get started on an artificial intelligence-enhanced IoT edge device design but we're not sure how to get started. In this week’s episode of Fish Fry, I sit down with Deepak Boppana and we talk about a new technology stack unveiled by Lattice Semiconductor called sensAI. Deepak and I explore the details of the sensAI technology stack and why the power and cost components of this stack set it apart from other solutions. Also this week, we investigate how China is aiming to be the world leader in artificial intelligence by 2030 and how they are using AI and facial recognition in their school system today.

The Future Will Be Blockchain(ed)

Friday May 11, 2018

Can blockchain technology inspire a new realm of AI innovation? Bottos thinks so.

For them, the equation is simple — blockchain + data x AI. In this week’s Fish Fry, we check out how blockchain technology can encourage innovation in the world of artificial intelligence. Xin Song (CEO of Bottos) and I chat about the what, where, and how of the Bottos Data Marketplace. We also investigate what the future holds for blockchain technology and AI innovation.

Artificial Intelligence and the Need for Speed

Friday Apr 27, 2018

This week’s episode of Fish Fry is all about artificial intelligence, machine vision, and basketball! Pulin Desai (Cadence Design Systems) and I discuss a couple of use cases that require a mix of both vision and artificial intelligence and why our “need for speed” has pushed for new design requirements in the mobile, AR/VR, surveillance, automotive and drone/robotics markets. We also dive into the details of a thesis by Simone Francia at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia that uses deep learning to classify basketball player actions on the court. Keeping with our AI theme this week, we’ll take a look at a plan to protect the US power grid with AI-powered tower-mounted robots.

Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ and GraspIO Cloudio Break New Ground

Friday Mar 23, 2018

In honor of pi Day, we’re serving up some Raspberry pi goodness! First up, Peter Wenzel (element14) dishes about the features of the newly launched Raspberry pi 3 Model B+. Peter and I chat about the Model B+ modular compliance certification, the details of a new Raspberry pi starter kit, and how power over ethernet is coming to the Raspberry pi ecosystem. In the second part of our pi coverage, Hari Kalyanaraman (element14) brings us the goods on GraspIO Cloudio - a new Raspberry pi expansion board with a mobile platform for end-to-end IoT development and deployment. In this week’s Kickstarter corner, we take a look at a new innovative way to clean up the Chicago River. (Spoiler Alert: It involves video games and remote-controlled boats!)

Marrying the Worlds of OT and IT

Friday Feb 09, 2018

We have a gathered here today to celebrate the matrimony of operational technology and information technology. In the years they have been together, their understanding of each other has grown and matured, and now they have decided to live their lives together. But how exactly are they going to do that? With a little help from us, of course. In this week’s episode of Fish Fry, we welcome Lou Lutostanski from Avnet. Lou and I discuss the how the internet of things reflects a unique marriage of operational technology and information technology and what that means in terms of IoT design support. We also chat about the role smart apps play in the world of IoT and why “out of the box” solutions don’t always fit quite right. Also this week, Jarvis Wenger (MEN Micro) and I explore the biggest and brightest industrial IoT technologies for extreme environments and where he thinks IIoT technologies are headed in the future.

Climbing The PowerTree™

Friday Jan 19, 2018

From source to sink to the current in-between, this week’s Fish Fry is all about power delivery and how we can solve our power delivery network problems. My guest is Brad Griffin (Cadence Design Systems) and we’re talking about how we can catch the PDN issues earlier in our design cycles and how “shifting left” can make all the difference in your next PCB design. Keeping with our powerful theme this week, we check out new smart window technology coming out of Friedrich-Schiller University Jena in Germany called LaWin (large area fluidic windows). We investigate how this technology is different from electrochromic smart window technology, and how (with a little help from magnetic iron nanoparticles) LaWin could revolutionize the total cost of energy consumption in buildings across the world.
