In this episode of Fish Fry, Peter Peumans (Imec) joins me to discuss an exciting breakthrough in COVID-19 testing spearheaded by miDiagnostics and Imec. We take a closer look at what sets this new kind of testing method apart from other testing methods on the market today, the details of Imec’s silicon chip technology that lies at the heart of this new technology, and how this kind of testing method could revolutionize how we test for other diseases in the future. Also this week, we check out a new 3D printing method developed by a team of researchers from the University of Notre Dame and Purdue University that integrates functional and structural materials into a single streamlined printing platform.

Every Breath You Take: Imec and miDiagnostics Launch a Revolutionary Breathalyzer Test for COVID-19 and Beyond

In this week’s podcast, HanBin Lee (CEO - Seoul Robotics) and I chat about their innovative 3D perception software with deep learning, what sets it apart from other 3D computer vision software solutions on the market today, and the details of their plug-and-play LiDAR perception system called Voyage. Also this week, we take a closer look at a new research study coming out of the Imperial College London that suggests that variability between brain cells might speed up learning and improve the performance of the brain and future AI.

What do swarming robots, LoRa, and the future of IoT communications have in common? This week’s Fish Fry podcast!  We start things off with an investigation into a new robotic research project developed by Notre Dame assistant electronic engineering professor Yasemin Ozkan-Aydin. We take a closer look at the details of these new swarming robots and how they maneuver in challenging environments and accomplish difficult tasks collectively. Also this week, Rémi Lorraine (Semtech) joins us to discuss the differences between LoRa and LoRaWAN, what the collaboration between Swam technologies and Semtech looks like, and how LoRa will help provide connectivity to new areas of the world.

Welcome to the fifth installment of a new special edition series of our long-running Fish Fry podcast called “Makers Today!”, where we highlight the movers and shakers in the maker space. In this month’s episode, my guest is Guido Bonelli, founder of Dr. Duino.  Guido and I discuss how art and electronic design intertwine in his life, how his Dr.Duino brand got started with a little help from from Kickstarter, what his creation the “Goonie Box” is all about and how the COVID19 pandemic inspired him to create the Social Distancing Arduino Project.

Artificial Intelligence reigns supreme in this week’s Fish Fry podcast! First up, we take a closer look at DeepMind’s new foray into rainfall prediction. We investigate how DeepMind's deep generative model of rain tool supports the advancement of precipitation nowcasting and how it compares to current methods of precipitation forecasting. Keeping with our AI theme this week, Pulin Desai (Cadence Design Systems) joins us to discuss the requirements for on-device AI today, what you need consider when developing an on-device AI system, and how Cadence is taking on on-device AI with its new Tensilica AI platform.    

The Challenges of On-Device AI Development and Yes, AI Can Predict the Rain Better than the Weatherman

In this week’s podcast, we start things off with a closer look at a new robotic system developed by a team of researchers at MIT called RFusion. We investigate how it combines RF information, visual data, and neural networks to find and retrieve objects with ease. (Spoiler alert: it can even find objects when they are buried under a pile and fully out of view.) Also this week, Tariq Ahmad (element14) joins us to discuss element14’s new Spy Nerd Challenge. We chat about the motivations behind the creation of this unique electronic design contest, how you can get involved and what you can win.

In this week’s Fish Fry podcast, we’ve got an interview double header! First up, Peggy Carrieres (Avnet) joins me to discuss the electronic supply shortages we are experiencing today and why she believes constraint drives innovation. Next, Rob Mains (CHIPS Alliance) joins me to discuss how CHIPS Alliance is collaborating with a variety of different companies and universities to create a chip design ecosystem and the details of their unified memory standard developed with RISC-V international.

Chips, Chiplets, and Modules, Oh My!

Welcome to the fourth installment of a new special edition series of our long-running Fish Fry podcast called “Makers Today!”, where we highlight the movers and shakers in the maker space. In this month’s episode, my guest is Kitty Yeung, founder and designer at Art by Physicist.  Kitty and I discuss the variety of super cool designs she created as part of her kickstarter campaign, what her work as a creative technologist and senior program manager at The Garage entailed, her passion for quantum computing, and how the worlds of high tech fashion and quantum computing overlap in her life.
