Web Events: Strategies for Reliable Robots, Personalized Assistants, Secure IoT, Discerning Detectors
Because they do our dirty, dull, distant, dangerous work, service robots constitute a booming segment of both the professional and consumer electronics markets. The International Federation of Robotics’ forecast for 2018-2020 estimates a cumulative volume of $27 billion for the professional service robot segment and $11 billion for the bots that clean our carpets and pools, mow our lawns, and wash our windows. Infineon will plumb the design requirements for service robots and automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) in a webinar that will start with the system basics and drill down to solutions for ensuring safety and reliability. You’ll come away with design guidance for systems ranging from consumer vacuums and entertainment bots to warehouse robotics.
Beyond robots and AVGs, and accessible to more users, is another class of machine helpers: the voice-activated virtual assistants that sit on our end tables and fit in our pockets. The artificial intelligence powering voice user interfaces has resided in the cloud, but Qualcomm argues in an upcoming webinar that on-device voice processing will open the door to truly personalized virtual assistants. The key: context-aware multimodal sensor fusion.
