Half-Day Pre-Conference Workshop: Unlocking the IoT with TinyML and LoRaWAN
"If we want to build a truly distributed Internet of Things with billions of sensors then we’re going to need TinyML."
Machine Learning and AI have taken the world by storm. From massive public implementations like ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion, to embedded solutions like TensorFlow Lite and Edge Impulse, ML is becoming the ultimate disruptor.
 
Likewise, designing in remote monitoring, remote control, and reporting capabilities are table stakes requirements for modern embedded products. Low-power wireless communications with LoRaWAN has proven critical to enabling the success of these implementations.
 
In this hands-on workshop, we will show off the power of combining TinyML (i.e. ML on constrained devices) with the IoT and the cloud. Specifically, we will cover the following topics:
 
  1. Basic programming of an STM32 host MCU with Arduino.
  2. Building and deploying a TinyML model to our host MCU with Edge Impulse.
  3. Sending generated ML data to the cloud using the Blues Notecard and LoRaWAN.

Partner Keynote Presented by STMicroelectronics: Improving the Lives of People Through Sensors
Sensors are at the core of many of our interactions with the world. They are the bridge between the physical and the digital worlds. In this perspective, the strong expectation anyone has from this sensorization is that it remains human-centric, improving your wellness, providing suggestions on how to enhance the daily life to prevent injury and helping on a better lifestyle. To achieve this, state-of-art sensors are being designed combining analog with motion signals and artificial intelligence to optimize edge computing. The result is a unique context aware analysis done in-the-edge, thus low power and with the minimum possible latency. This can all be implemented in a standard package dimension.

Keynote: One Chance Per Year: Why AgTech Innovation Matters to Every Person on The Planet
Almost every industry is looking for new ways to implement technology to improve operational efficiency, productivity, and the bottom line. But for most organizations, they have room for trial and error. Not in agriculture – timing is crucial. Farmers only get one chance a year to produce the best possible crop to provide the food and clothes the global population depends on. Add in continued labor shortages, extreme variability, and increasing demand, and they’ve got more than just a bottom line to think about. Today, farmers use advanced machines equipped with technology like cameras, sensors, computer vision, machine learning, and connectivity to perform precise tasks at a tremendous scale. This allows farmers to extend their limited workforce and focus on the most pressing and complex aspects of their operations. This presentation will explore:
  • The challenges farmers face in feeding and clothing our growing population.
  • The technologies that help farmers enhance the efficiency and accuracy of their farming operations. 
  • What technology is in the pipeline to make the connected, autonomous farm a reality sooner than you think.

Conference Session: Edge-based Multi-gas Sensors: Anticipated and Unanticipated Advantages over Last-century Sensor Designs
Designs of existing gas sensors were introduced last century as single-output instruments to detect relatively high concentrations of expected gases. Performance of such sensors degrades in field applications because (1) sensors lose their accuracy in the presence of interferences and (2) variations of ambient conditions over time induce sensor drift.  Cloud and edge analytics is applied for multi-gas differentiation using arrays of single-output sensors but lacks reliable methodologies for drift elimination in the field.  We developed a new generation of gas sensors, known as multivariable sensors, that break this status quo in poor field performance of existing gas sensors. Our gas sensors are designed with several independent responses to detect multiple gases, reject interferents, and self-correct for sensor drift.  These new capabilities in our sensors are attractive in monitoring of urban pollution, medical diagnostics, and homeland security.

Conference Session: Key Considerations in Designing Low-power Sensors for IoT Sustainability to Succeed
Connected IoT devices continue to expand into all aspects of life. Based on analyst estimates, there will be over 75 billion secure connected IoT devices by 2030 enabling a range of industrial, medical, smart home/cities applications. Based on another analysts estimate, more than 1/3rd of connected IoT devices will be battery operated, and the associated energy use and waste from these batteries will be considerably huge. Power management therefore, becomes a critical factor to increase battery life for both an optimized user experience and to support green initiatives by reducing battery waste. It is therefore imperative that the design of next-generation sensors incorporate low power, efficient and flexible embedded features. In this session, I will be discussing key considerations in designing low-power sensors for IoT sustainability to succeed. Attendees will also learn few mission profiles and case studies describing the importance of sensors low power features in system solutions.

Engineers must find efficient ways to optimize these systems and configure their parameters. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques can play a big role in modeling, design, and analysis of these networks. To illustrate the advantage of using AI/ML techniques, we discuss the design of a wireless Wi-Fi based sensing system for automated person detection in an indoor environment. We will walk through the development challenges, introduce an AI-based estimation model, go through various workflow steps. Finally, we show how the AI model can result in satisfactory overall system performance.
