Control systems, real-time feedback, actuator loops. Vision + movement + decision. Warehouse bots, prosthetics, quadrupeds.
TinyML, Arduino AI, on-chip inference. Power limits, latency, offline capability. Examples: wearables, drones, smart toys.
Vision (CMOS), Audio (MEMS mics), Touch (haptics). How do sensors feed raw signals to AI systems? Edge AI in cameras, doorbells, phones.
Power-hungry GPUs, cooling, racks. How does math turns into signals? Inside a data center for AI training.
DRAM, SRAM, Flash in training & inference. Why do memory bottlenecks matter? How are models are stored, moved, and compressed?
Chips that mimic the brain (Loihi, TrueNorth). Spiking neurons, synaptic weight in circuits. Memristors and other brain-inspired tech
NVIDIA, Google TPU, Intel, Apple Neural Engine. What's inside a dedicated AI accelerator? The tradeoffs of power, speed, precision.
How do CPUs, GPUs, TPUs, and NPUs handle AI workloads? Logic gates to matrix multiplication. Why does AI needs different hardware.
What happens when sensors become thinking materials? We close the season with a look into emerging tech, neural sensors, quantum detectors, stretchable circuits, and synthetic skin, in order to imagine a future where machines don’t just sense... they feel.
This is a second part of our Sensors in Biology episode. Forget silicon. Nature was the first engineer. Explore the stunning parallels between your nervous system and an embedded circuit, and learn how your own body’s sensors, pressure, heat, pain, motion, have inspired everything from prosthetics to robotic limbs.
From satellites scanning the Earth to soil sensors in your backyard garden, we uncover the tools that let machines read air quality, temperature, radiation, and more across environments vast and tiny. This is sensing at scale.
