Send us Fan MailMachine learning is a hot topic these days, and the biggest potential impact is in the industrial space. At the same time, the initial outlay for the technology could turn some vendors away. So the question is, at what cost does it make sense? That’s one of many questions I fired at Nikunj Mehta, who is the Founder and CEO of Falkonry in this week’s Five Minutes with…discussion.For more information, visit embeddedcomputing.com

Send us Fan MailThere’s a reasonably good chance that you’re not old enough to remember the days of analog computers, as that would likely put you in your sixties. Most of us grew up on digital computers, which are way smarter, smaller, and consume less power than the original analog systems. Ironically, analog computing may be making a comeback. And it’s ironic because one of the people leading the charge is Gene Frantz, who is well known as a visionary in the DSP space. Gene is currently the CTO of Octavo Systems. Hear what he has to say about this next chapter of computing.For more information, visit embeddedcomputing.com

Send us Fan MailAre you up to speed on digital twins? If you’re not, you probably should be, especially if you plan to play in the IoT space. I have to admit that I needed to be educated on this topic. I received that education thanks to Peter Thorne, a director for industry analyst firm Cambashi in this week’s Five Minutes with…discussion.For more information, visit embeddedcomputing.com

Send us Fan MailAll smart phones have cameras now. But what they do with those imagers is quite different. Are they using them for facial recognition, for medical applications, or for things that many of us had not even dreamed of? These are just a few of the questions to threw at Sumat Mehra, Senior Vice President and General Manager for Xperi’s Mobile Division in this week’s Five Minutes with…discussion. https://www.xperi.com/For more information, visit embeddedcomputing.com

Send us Fan MailMachine learning at the node is starting to become a reality, thanks to the availability of adequate processing capability. Moving this technology from the cloud to the Edge, a term that’s sometimes used synonymously with the node, provides a big leap in being able to process elements in near-real-time. This idea was the basis of the discussion I had with Brian Faith, President and CEO of Quicklogic in this week’s Five Minutes with…discussion. https://www.quicklogic.com/For more information, visit embeddedcomputing.com

Send us Fan MailWhen it comes to autonomous vehicles, there are followers and there are leaders. QNX, a subsidiary of Blackberry, believes it falls into the latter class. To understand why, but more importantly to get the lay of the autonomous vehicle landscape, I spoke to QNX’s Senior Vice President John Wall in this week’s Five Minutes with…discussion. http://blackberry.qnx.com/en/solutions/industries/automotive/indexFor more information, visit embeddedcomputing.com

Send us Fan MailWe keep hearing about over-the-air updates for the automotive space. Is this real or is it a pipe dream? I’m of the opinion that I can make a valid argument for each. However, Rick Kreifeldt, Executive Director of the eSync Alliance had a pretty firm stance. Hear his take in this week’s Five Minutes with…discussion. https://www.esyncalliance.org/For more information, visit embeddedcomputing.com

Send us Fan MailAgile software development is a term we often hear about. But most folks that aren’t deeply into the thick of development don’t know what agile development is, or why they should be thinking about it. It’s not a new technique, but it is slowing gaining momentum. To get the real low-down, I spoke to one Bruce Douglas, a Chief Evangelist at IBM, and of the world’s recognized leaders in this space for this week’s Five Minutes with…discussion.For more information, visit embeddedcomputing.com

Send us Fan MailSmart technology is all around us. However, it hasn’t migrated to the industrial sector with nearly the speed that it could (or should). Why is that? That’s the question I asked of Ashish Syal, who is the Chief Engineer for IoT at Sierra Wireless in this week’s Five Minutes with…discussion. Ashish, being a technologist, has a great handle on this space. https://www.sierrawireless.com/For more information, visit embeddedcomputing.com

Send us Fan MailArm recently put up a website challenging RISC-V technology that stirred up quite the hornet’s nest. After hundreds of comments from developers within a matter of hours, the site was promptly taken offline. Meanwhile, Wind River continues its evolution as a company beyond Intel’s shadow. The Insiders discuss these and other industry goings on in this week’s Embedded Insiders podcast.For more information, visit embeddedcomputing.com
