IEEE Italy Sensors Chapter

Sport is one of the most dynamic and promising sectors in terms of investment in research and innovation. Grounded on this evidence, the core purpose of the 2022 IEEE-STAR International workshop is to foster research in technological innovation and excellence in sports equipment, technical materials, training technologies and performance monitoring, fan engagement and healthy lifestyles. Specifically, the event aims to: promote and strengthen relationships, partnerships, alliances and networks between academia and industry in the field of sport innovation; disseminate recent research and technology advancements, discoveries and novel applications to sport; exchange ideas and strengthen cooperation between researchers; increase the public's understanding and awareness of how the practice of sports can positively affect and individual’s quality of life; facilitate the development of new entrepreneurial initiatives in the sportech sector. The event features a comprehensive technical program including panels, technical sessions, and innovative industrial demonstrations. Vertical panels will be an essential element of the IEEE-STAR workshop. Panels will bring together leading representatives from academia and industry to facilitate discussion around key topics and trends. Panel sessions will focus on challenging and emerging issues in all the areas of sports research and innovation. Prospective Authors of papers are invited to submit an abstract of typically 2 pages. The length of the final papers is from 4 to 6 pages. Proceedings papers need to be presented at the event to assure their submission for inclusion in the IEEE Xplore digital library. Innovative industrial demonstrations will highlight exciting developmemnts across the field of sport innovation. A central role will be assigned to sport tech startups, whch will be offered a chance to introduce and demonstrate their products and services. PDF Conference website

A cosa ci si riferisce quando si parla di Intelligenza Artificiale “at The Deep Edge”? Che cosa è e come si può sviluppare una Rete Neurale Artificiale? Il seminario hands-on in presenza di STMicroelectronics intende affrontare il complesso tema dell’Intelligenza Artificiale from scratch! Attraverso un percorso didattico disegnato ad-hoc per neofiti, Davide Ruggiero (Senior Advanced Research Engineer), condurrà i partecipanti attraverso questo affascinante ed al contempo complesso mondo dell’Intelligenza Artificiale fornendo le necessarie nozioni teoriche e pratiche che consentiranno agli stessi di progettare e addestrare Reti Neurali Artificiali. Tali modelli saranno poi implementati su microcontrollori STM32 usando X-CUBE-AI (AI expansion pack for STM32CubeMX), uno strumento che permette, in pochi passi, di convertire un modello di ANN progettato in Tensorflow / Keras o nello standard ONNX e di portarlo su microcontrollori della famiglia STM32. STMicroelectronics ha preparato questo corso pensando agli esperti dell’industria, agli studenti, ai ricercatori universitari e ai giovani professionisti che sono interessati al tema dell’intelligenza artificiale su microcontrollori, argomento quanto mai attuale grazie alle molteplici opportunità che offre.

Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have been one of the most revolutionary technologies for the first two decades of the XXI century. Throughout twenty years, they quickly led first to an unprecedented miniaturization of sensors of various physical quantities (motion, magnetic field, sonic and ultrasonic waves…) and then to the introduction of microscale actuators (mirrors, lenses, speakers). Even more remarkable is their key enabling role towards artificial intelligence systems, robotics, autonomous mobility, remote patient monitoring, virtual reality… which indicates that their development in the next three decades, until 2050, will be even faster, with growing performance and applications. These peculiar systems are often a delicate equilibrium between various physical domains, intuitively including micromechanics, electrics and electronics, but also involving fluidics, acoustics and thermodynamics. Their development thus requires cross fertilization of scientific knowledge in different engineering, physics mathematics and informatics sciences. The goal of the Summer School is to provide the fundamentals of their working principle, with advanced description of a few case studies. Starting from the underlying theoretical bases, key fabrication processes and innovative technologies will be described, with an outlook to future developments. Afterwards, advanced electromechanical and electronics design for accelerometers, gyroscopes, micromirrors and microspeakers will be discussed, including innovative working principles which are under research all over the world. The importance of advanced multi-physics modeling will be presented to students with examples belonging to different physical domains. Finally, taking the advantage of having several MEMS companies in the Lombardia region, an industrial perspective towards the next-generation MEMS era will show the students the paths and the opportunities which are opening up in this exciting field.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution represents a fundamental change in the way we live, work, and relate to one another. It is a new chapter in human development, enabled by technology advances that are commensurate with those of the first, second, and third industrial revolutions. The speed, breadth, and depth of this revolution are forcing us to rethink how countries should develop, how organizations create value, and even what it means to be human. All these deep changes are possible also thanks to the recent developments in the field of metrology. Actually, the monitoring and the control of remote physical phenomena require the development of new sensors, acquisition techniques, data analysis, new architecture of data acquisition systems, and so on. The 6th edition of IEEE MetroInd4.0&IoT aims to discuss the contributions both of the metrology for the development of Industry 4.0 and IoT and the new opportunities offered by Industry 4.0 and IoT for the development of new measurement methods and instruments. IEEE MetroInd4.0&IoT wants to federate stakeholders active in developing instrumentation and measurement methods for Industry 4.0 and IoT, with new technologies for metrology-assisted production, component measurement, sensors and associated signal conditioning, and calibration methods for electronic test.

The IEEE International Workshop on Advances in Sensors and Interfaces (IWASI) is a premier bi-annual workshop on sensors and sensor interfaces that for 20 years has presented advances and disruptive solutions in the fields of software, architecture, design, manufacturing and materials for sensors and integrated circuits.

The 18th edition of IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements and Applications will take place in Jeju, South Korea. The symposium focuses on all aspects of interactions relating to instrumentation and measurement, bio-engineering, material science, chemical and biological measurements, and leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for accelerating solutions in the medical field. The symposium enables researchers, healthcare professionals, technicians, and engineers to exchange ideas and information and make connections and collaborations towards advancing innovation on health care systems and diagnostics in medicine.

The 2023 IEEE International Conference on Metrology for eXtended Reality, Artificial Intelligence and Neural Engineering - IEEE MetroXRAINE 2023 - will be an international event mainly aimed at creating a synergy between experts in eXtended Reality, Brain-Computer Interface, and Artificial Intelligence, with special attention to the Measurement. The conference will be a unique opportunity for discussion among scientists, technologists, and companies on very specific sectors in order to increase the visibility and the scientific impact for the participants. The organizing formula will be original owing to the emphasis on the interaction between the participants to exchange ideas and material useful for their research activities. Following the main idea of the 2022 proposal, IEEE MetroXRAINE 2023 will be configured as an immersive collection of sessions organized by the individual members of the Scientific Committee. Round tables will be held for different projects and hot research topics. In addition to regular papers, many initiatives and opportunities such as industry sessions, exhibits, tutorials, demos, student contests, and others are planned to enhance your experience with the conference, and will make MetroXRAINE 2023 a unique event to meet with people involved eXtended Reality, Artificial Intelligence, and Neural Engineering.
