    Innovate: EMASS: an end-to-end approach to enable deep learning at the edge for ultra-low power AI systems
    by Professor Mohamed M. Sabry Aly,
    Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
     
    As computing devices nowadays become ever more multi-functional with a wide plethora of features, the need for an energy-efficient computing system has become increasingly crucial. This talk gives an overview of deep learning at the edge for ultra-low power AI systems, where the entire development stack, from algorithms to hardware devices, was optimised. The main goal of this approach is to enable the execution of deep learning applications on ultra-low power edge platforms, while conserving the battery lifetime. This approach achieves significant gains over current solutions, reaching 10x savings on total system power.

    Innovate: New generation distributed LiDAR with wider field of view

    by Dr Ehsan Mihankhah

    Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

     

    Distributed LiDAR is an optical sensor that measures the distance from the surrounding objects, through the entire field of view. The sensor incorporates optical fibers for the delivery and collection of light. In addition to distance, the sensor is also capable of sensing color and temperature. This patented invention can be embedded in the structure of the host vehicle. Therefore, it covers several shortcomings of the existing commercial LiDARs such as the bulkiness and the limitations of the field of view. The sensor can be used in Drones, Mobile robots, Driverless vehicles, Military vehicles, Mining vehicles, and industrial robots and equipment, as well as in medical and nonmedical thermal monitoring devices.
