The Embedded Insiders attended a couple of respective sensors conferences, one in the U.S. and one in Europe. Tune in to find out what they saw, how the tchotchkie index of both shows compared and the announcement of our Best in Show winners.

How much time did you spend thinking about sensors today? Unless they're somehow a part of your career, the answer's probably, "None". But during the 2019 Sensors Expo and Conference, we had the opportunity to meet Jen Gilburg and Pete Smith, of TE Connectivity. TE Connectivity is a long-established sensor manufacturer.  However, very few people are familiar with the company.  Applications for which they create sensors include: smart cities, health technology and partnerships with entrepreneurs and inventors. Jen is TE's  Senior Director of Strategy, Sensor Solutions, while Pete is Senior Manager of Product Knowledge, Sensor Solutions. We had the opportunity to record onsite during the conference--so we discussed the ways sensors are an integral part of twenty-first century daily life.   Applications are everywhere, including arts areas such as summertime special events! Jen and Pete talked about their backgrounds and some of the ways sensors are used.  They also offered some sensor-related resources for educators and creators in general. On this edition of Over Coffee®, you'll hear: How Pete and Jen's career paths led them to TE Connectivity; How we experience sensors in our average days (without even realizing it!); Current TE sensor applications in use in Third World countries, and globally; What's coming in the future; How privacy considerations come into play; One solution to avoiding a malware attack (a low-tech one!) Favorite resources Jen and Pete recommend for makers and educators; Some of the "problem-solving" use cases for sensors in STEAM applications. Sensors Expo and Conference will celebrate 35 years in 2020!  They've already posted their next conference dates: June 9-11, 2020 at San Jose's McEnery Convention Center.  Here's the link for more information.

This week… The French research institute LETI held a conference on artificial intelligence at the edge. What does putting AI on the edge of the network mean, and what’s the advantage? EE Times editors were in Grenoble, and filed a report. A few weeks ago, PCI introduced a new ultra-fast networking specification that will make data centers perform even better, and that will make the internet faster and more capable. A few days ago, PCI unexpectedly doubled the speed again. EE Times editors were at the annual Sensors Expo, which has become an important conference for the Internet of things. Also, the prevailing wisdom is that self-driving vehicles will be safer than human drivers. But what if there’s a third option – one that’s just as safe as self-driving cars are supposed to be?

Roger Grace with his 2018 "Future of Engineering Education" panel at Sensors Expo and Conference, 2018. As Sensors Expo and Conference 2019 happens this week, Roger Grace will be discussing ways to create the future. That's because, on Thursday, June 27th, he will once again be moderating the "Future of Engineering Education" panel, at noon in San Jose's McEnery Convention Center. Roger is the founder and President of MEMS marketing consulting firm Roger Grace Associates in Naples, Florida.  He is also an electrical engineer with 40 years' experience in analog circuit design engineering and mechanical engineering. And along the way, he discovered how much he enjoyed working with people and sharing ideas. Roger Grace with his 2018 "Future of Engineering Education" panel at Sensors Expo and Conference. That discovery led him to start his marketing firm, and use his expertise to help companies commercialize their products.   (He also team-taught entrepreneurship to UC Berkeley engineering students for a number of years.) The six-person panel which Roger will moderate will focus on nontraditional approaches to teaching engineering.   Two engineering students, two administrator/educators and two engineer/entrepreneurs will offer their perspectives. Entrepreneurship, adult education and co-op experiences will all be key elements in the discussion.  And so will questions from the audience. And Roger's insights on marketing could easily be pertinent to makers and arts people in general, as well as to engineering students and educators! On this edition of Over Coffee® , you will hear: How Roger first became interested in engineering; What his own academic journey was like; How he transformed himself into a marketing/business consultant with an engineering background; Who will be participating on the "Future of Engineering Education" panel; The approaches his panel will take, to discussing the theme of nontraditional education; Why Roger is an ardent fan of co-op education; What makes an engineer a good engineer; How Roger saw entrepreneurship become part of the "mix" of engineering education; The "science" of entrepreneurship, and how Roger applied it to his own students while teaching at UC Berkeley; Something students today are missing, which entrepreneurship classes can address; Some of the takeaways for "arts people" from Roger's expertise in engineering and marketing. Don't miss the "Future of Engineering Education" panel, if you're attending Sensors Expo and Conference in San Jose!  Roger and his six 2019 panelists will be discussing nontraditional engineering education (and asking for your questions) from noon to 1 pm on Thursday, June 27th in the Sensors Live Theater area. Sensors Expo runs Tuesday, June 25th through Thursday, June 27th at McEnery Convention Center in San Jose.

We may be taking a big step forward in the effort to stop food waste! A research team at Imperial College London has developed food freshness sensors that can be embedded in the packaging of meat and fish and detect the gases that show up when food spoils. Plus: if you like sensors, check out the 2019 Sensors Expo and Conference later this month in San Jose, California. It's even got an awards show!

It was recently reported that routers were being hacked, and “Officials said they had high confidence that the Russian government was behind the campaign.” https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/16/politics/russian-hackers-network-devices-alert/index.html Hmm, is that what it’s come down to now? And what does this mean to life as we know it? Before everyone gets all up in arms over the issue, the most simple solution is for people to use better/stronger passwords on their routers. But as the hackers get more sophisticated, obviously the security must also get more sophisticated. As we looked at what the real solutions are to the problem, the Embedded Insiders spoke to Steve Hanna, a Senior Principal at Infineon, and also Chair of the Embedded Systems Committee at the Trusted Computing Group (TCG). As an expert on the topic, Steve laid out what people really need to do to make themselves secure. Note that the TCG has a webcast shortly on exactly this topic, called How to Secure Network Equipment Against Attacks. https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/press-rooms/events/webcast-implement-trusted-platforms-ecosystems-3/ The group will also be hosting a workshop as part of the upcoming Sensors Expo event in San Jose (on June 28) called Securing the IoT and Embedded Systems. https://trustedcomputinggroup.org/press-rooms/events/iot-university-sensors-expo-2018/

(Photo courtesy of Ethan Schur, and used with permission.) "Can I have this toothbrush?  Pleeeease?" If we'd said that during our childhood, any parent within earshot would have gone into shock. But that plea is becoming more common, since inventor/futurologist Ethan Schur and his team created the Grush Smart Gaming Toothbrush. Ethan, who is the founder and Chief Operating Officer of Bay Area startup Grush, Inc., holds the title of "America's Greatest Maker".   With their augmented-reality "Grush", he and his team won the grand prize on the "America's Greatest Makers" television show in 2016. Working with pediatric dentist Anubha Sacheti and  technology visionary Yong-Jing Wang, Ethan used his background in game development to design a toothbrush that turns brushing into a video game for young clients.   As kids combat "monsters" and care for a virtual striped cat, parents (and dentists) can receive data on brushing habits. Fast-forward to 2018--as the Grush team continues to upgrade their concept.  This  January, they premiered the adult version of the smart toothbrush, the "Cloud White", at CES®.  "Cloud White" will be available later this year; updates are available on the Grush website. And if you're going to be in San Jose in June, you'll get a chance to hear Ethan, live, during the 2018 Sensors Expo and Conference.   His talk, "How Sensor Fusion Enabled the Augmented Reality Toothbrush", is scheduled for 11 am on Wednesday, June 27th.  Here's the link for more information. Ethan talked about his background, shared the story of creating the Grush smart gaming toothbrush, and offered a preview of his Sensors Conference presentation. On this edition of Over Coffee®, you'll hear: How Ethan first became inspired to become an inventor; The story of the Grush gaming toothbrush (hint: it has its roots in a common parents' dilemma!); How Ethan and his team developed specialized "navigation" technology; How Grush differs from others in the market; What young clients (and their parents) experience, using the smart toothbrush; Team Grush's experiences as they and their own children used the brush; A preview of the new adult version of the smart toothbrush, Cloud White; A preview of Ethan's upcoming presentation, at the 2018 Sensors Expo and Conference, in San Jose on June 27th; Ethan's vision of future "smart" data-gathering toothbrushes for which he and his team are developing technology. Sensors Expo and Conference 2018 starts at 9:00 am on Tuesday, June 26th, with pre-conference symposia on topics including "Internet of Things Innovation", wearables and energy harvesting.  The conference runs through Thursday afternoon, June 28th.  Here's the link for registration information.        

Over Coffee® is on hiatus through the Christmas holidays.  We'll be rebroadcasting some of our most popular episodes of 2017.  Thank you for listening–and be sure to be with us for our coverage of CES 2018! Where are we headed, with autonomous vehicles? Michigan Applied Robotics Group co-founder Rourke Pattullo is participating in answering that question.  And that response keeps evolving. Rourke, who is majoring in electrical engineering at the University of Michigan, is currently spending a semester in Shanghai as part of the Michigan Engineers Abroad program. We had the opportunity to meet and chat at the 2017 Sensors Expo in San Jose, in June, after Rourke participated in the "Sense Technologies" panel during the new "Automotive and Autonomous Vehicles Sensors Workshop".   At the time, Rourke had been serving as vice-president of the university's autonomous-boat team, UM: Autonomy. Prior to leaving for his fall semester in China, Rourke talked about his background, the University of Michigan's innovations in the area of autonomous vehicles, and his vision for the future. On this edition of Over Coffee®, you'll hear: How Rourke's background led to his interest in autonomous vehicles; The test conditions self-driving cars face, in the University of Michigan's  “Mcity”; Some of the technologies that may enable future self-driving cars; How the Michigan Applied Robotics Group came into being; How UM Autonomy used their problem-solving skills to implement a critical technology for autonomous boats; The first areas in which UM students learn, while constructing autonomous vehicles; Some of the obstacles researchers have found, to making self-driving vehicles a daily reality; The two reactions Rourke hears from the general public, about the idea of autonomous vehicles; Myths, versus the realities, of "smart" vehicles; Rourke's favorite funny experience, which illustrates one of the “human-nature” obstacles to implementing self-driving cars; Some of the considerations involved in implementing the new technology in urban areas; Rourke's projections of the role of autonomous vehicles in two different areas, ten years in the future; And, how engineers are designing self-driving cars to deal with weather challenges.
