Seeds for a New Day: Edge ML, Evolution of IoT and Artificial Leaves that Generate Clean Fuel

by Amelia Dalton

August 26, 2022

Have you heard about the artificial leaves that generate clean fuel? In this week’s Fish Fry podcast, I investigate the details of new flexible autonomous floating artificial leaves developed by a team of researchers from the University of Cambridge that can generate clean fuel from sunlight and water. Also this week, Viktor Vikulov (DANNIE) and I discuss why edge machine learning is the next evolutionary step for IoT, how edge ML could help save personal information in public places, and what kind of challenges we will face in terms of edge machine learning in the future.

Fish Fry 500: The Best of Makers Today! (Now on YouTube!)

by Amelia Dalton

August 24, 2022

In anticipation of the 500th episode of Amelia’s Weekly Fish Fry (and the upcoming launch of Fish Fry on Youtube!), we are highlighting playlists of episodes cultivated from years of podcastin’ fun! This week, we revisit my limited edition Maker Series, where I interview innovative movers and shakers in the Maker space. Our Makers discuss their creative processes, where they find the inspirations for their innovative designs, and how they are changing the Maker landscape.

Re-Inventing Home Security: Infineon’s New AI/ML-based Smart Alarm System

In this week’s Fish Fry podcast, David Jones (Infineon) and I chat about Infineon’s new battery-powered Smart alarm system. We examine the role that AI and machine learning-based sensor fusion plays in this industry-first acoustic event detection and alarm system, and why this kind of battery-powered home security sensor system could be a game-changer for homes and businesses alike. Also this week, I investigate a new self-charging device developed by a team of researchers from National University of Singapore that can generate electricity … Read More → "Re-Inventing Home Security: Infineon’s New AI/ML-based Smart Alarm System"

Cloud First! Leveraging the Cloud for Your System Design

by Amelia Dalton

August 12, 2022

In this week’s episode of Fish Fry, Mahesh Turaga (Cadence Design Systems) and I dig into the details of the Cadence OnCloud platform. We investigate why designers are turning to the cloud for EDA, system design, and a whole lot more. Also this week, I check out a new artificial synapse developed by MIT that runs a million times faster than the human brain!

One Size Does Not Fit All: The Rise of Bespoke Silicon

by Amelia Dalton

August 5, 2022

Move over off-the-shelf chips, bespoke silicon is coming your way! In this week’s Fish Fry podcast, Walt Hearn from Ansys joins me to discuss the rise of bespoke silicon, the need for open multi-physics platforms, collaboration in the EDA ecosystem, and more. Also this week, I investigate a new bacteria powered wearable device developed by a team of researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. (Spoiler Alert: The bacteria works better when it’s dead!)

U Can Touch This! BeBop Sensors Brings a Sense of Touch to Robots and More!

by Amelia Dalton

July 29, 2022

Robotic innovation and the future of human-machine interfaces take center stage in this week’s Fish Fry podcast! Keith McMillen (CEO, Founder - BeBop Sensors) joins me to chat about BeBop’s Intelligent Sensing Technologies which can transform any surface into a touch surface that naturally blends into its environment. We dig into the details of BeBop’s RoboSkin that can provide robots with the sense of touch and discuss why Keith believes that intelligent interfaces will change how we interact with machines in the future. Also this week, I take a closer look at a new robotic learning method called WHIRL developed by a team of researchers at Carnegie Mellon University that could make teaching robots easier than ever before. … Read More →

The Next Wave of Semiconductor Innovation

by Amelia Dalton

July 22, 2022

In this week’s Fish Fry, we are talking about electrostatic multi-nozzle printing technology, industrial micro-fabrication, and life-like lasers! Walter Braun (COO – Scrona) and I investigate the biggest challenges facing the micro-fabrication industry today, why Walter believes that the next wave of semiconductor innovation will rely on novel semiconductor packaging, and the details of Scrona’s multi-nozzle printing technology. Also this week, I examine new self-organizing lasers built by a team of researchers from Imperial College London and University College London that could lead to new materials for sensing, computing, light sources, and displays.

Fast Times in Supply and Demand: How the EDDI Report Can Help Determine How Difficult Sourcing Will Be

by Amelia Dalton
