MEMS To The Rescue

How Sensor Systems are Enabling Autonomous Mobility: MEMS and Sensors Executive Congress Preview
by Amelia Dalton

It’s that time of year again my friends, when the leaves began to fall gently to the ground and the accelerometers run free. Yes, its MEMS and Sensors Executive Congress time! Steve Whalley this week gives us a sneak peak into this year’s Executive Congress. Steve and I discuss how sensor systems can enable autonomous mobility, why voice will be a new interface for autonomous mobility, and the details of for this year’s Technology Showcase. Also this week, we check out a Kickstarter campaign called LogicInk – a programmable temporary tattoo that looks cool and can give you real-time information about your body and your environment.
