temporal variations in air quality will be presented.

SA2: Wireless Communication & Localization in Resource-Constrained

Multi-Agent Robotic Systems
BRIAN KILBERG | RESEARCHER, BSAC, UC BERKELEY
Microrobotic systems could have a wide range of applications such as search and rescue, agricultural
management, and subterranean exploration. Emerging microrobotic systems, such as insect-sized hexapods
and postage-stamp-sized ionocrafts will have strict computational limitations imposed by size, power, and
weight constraints. These limitations include significantly reduced wireless communication range and limited
image processing power. As a result of these limitations, conventional communication and localization
methods aren’t well-suited for multi-agent microrobotic systems. Low power wireless sensor networks
are a potentially suitable framework for communication due to their very low power consumption, low
computational overhead, and support for multi-hop relayed communication. With its modest computational
requirements, lighthouse localization could be a viable method of localization for resource-constrained
systems. This session discusses the challenges facing localization and communication in microrobotic
systems, and distributed localization in robotic wireless sensor networks using lighthouse technology.

AI2: CMF Analog-Digital ASIC with Embedded AI Processing

JUAN APONTE | CEO, ONTECH SECURITY
This session covers how these three disciplines join together to be able to bring to market a mix ASIC capable
of detect and discriminate activity (person, animal or object) in a particular region of the surrounding physical
space. The ASIC combines analog front end with digital dedicated back-end that acquires and pre-process
the signal, and an artificial intelligence algorithm that accurately classifies the events.

1:30PM-2:20PM

MEMS3: Integration of Sensors with Flexible Substrates: A Winning

Combination
MARY ANN MAHER | FOUNDER & CEO, SOFTMEMS
