I’ve just been introduced to a technology that has the potential to revolutionize battery- and ambient-powered AI-enabled sensors using Bluetooth or WiFi while consuming only 1/1000th the power of regular Bluetooth and WiFi implementations. Intrigued? Read on!
Before we plunge into the fray with gusto and abandon, indulge me, if you will. I read a lot of science fiction. One of the … Read More → "AI at the Edge? Meet Wi-Fi in Microwatts"
In honor of the upcoming U.S. holiday, this week’s special episode of Fish Fry offers a little something for everyone. We kick things off by exploring how mushrooms can function as organic memory devices. Next up, I check out RoboCake, a multi-tiered dessert featuring various edible components and the world’s first rechargeable edible battery! Finally, the episode wraps up with a look at how NASA-developed fogponics … Read More → "Fish Fry Special Edition: Have Your Cake and Eat The Batteries too!"
Increasingly, I find myself talking to people who say something like, “We have a 1-, 2-, 4-, or 8-core proof-of-concept AI chip that can—in the future—be scaled up to 1,000 cores.” But this is the first time I’ve been told, “We have a real-world 1,000-core AI chip that can—in the future—be scaled down to 1-, 2-, 4-, or 8-cores.”
We live in exciting times with respect to AI and the devices used to implement inferencing at the edge, where the “internet rubber” meets the “real-world road,” as it were.
It reminds me of those distant days in the 1970s when we were all “feeling our way” with 8-bit microprocessors. I’m thinking of devices like the Intel 8008 (1972), Intel 8080 (1974), Motorola 6800 (1974), MOS Technology 6502 (1975), Zilog … Read More → "Analog Neuromorphic Processors for ASICs/SoCs Offer Microwatt Edge AI"
We’re talking about CMOS-based MEMS sensors that are 1,000 times smaller than their traditional silicon-based MEMS counterparts, offering greater bandwidth and higher sensitivity, while also being more cost-effective and reliable. Seriously—what’s not to love?
I’ve just been chatting with Dr. Josep Montanyà, who, along with Dr. Marc Llamas, founded Nanusens</ … Read More → "Want Nano-Scale, CMOS-Based MEMS Sensors?"
In a moment, I’m going to tell you about the slightest and slimmest Ethernet switches and routers you’ve never seen, but first… I’ve told this networking narrative before, and doubtless I’ll tell it again (it’s too good to waste). I graduated with my degree in Control Engineering in the summer of I980. My first position was in a … Read More → "Micro-Miniature Ethernet Switches and Routers"
