Automotive Radar perception thoughts towards AV
2021-11-10 10:00 - 16:00 (Asia/Jerusalem) | Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/298697
Automotive Radar perception thoughts towards AV
Takeaways:
– Everybody speaks about vision and lidar systems, but Radar is an indispensable key technology for highly automated and autonomous ADAs
– HW-SW Co-Design is essential to come to the next level
– High Performance radar versus smart radar networks – some thoughts
– Radar perception can benefit performance, if machine learning is applied to it
– Massive AI is entering the Radar-Perception arena.
Abstract:
Over decades automotive driver assistance systems have developed from simple park assistance and ACC to highly complex L3 functions. Among other issues, that has been driven by the dramatic development of radar sensor technology and radar based perception. Radar can “see”, where other sensors can´t. Due to their performance to be packaged nearly invisible, modern cars can still appear as design artwork icons, like the present EQ-S. With the development towards higher automatization the total perception system has to provide much more comprehensive and precise information to the path planning and behavior stages in order to allow proper operation. Based on our experience with the “Bertha Drive” as quasi autonomous vehicle, we got inside what is needed in the future. One outcome of our L4/L5 research projects was, the sensor technology in cooperation with perception algo-concepts have to develop along other lines as compared to simple L2 systems. The key note will line out from a radar point of view what has been achieved so far and what will be needed in the future for L3 to L5 driving.
Dr.-Ing. Juergen Dickmann is head of Radar sensors and radar-based perception for highly automated/autonomous driving, Mercedes-Benz AG. In this role he is responsible for the 6th generation at Mercedes-Benz AG and future radar solutions towards autonomous driving. In the automotive field, he introduced for the first time AI concepts for Radar and exploited Radar usage beyond ranging and detection for comprehensive environment perception. Before that, he managed the technology transfer process of all perception sensing (Radar, Laser, Video, localization etc.) technologies from research into series for former passenger car platforms. He conducted radar research and pre-developments for radar-based Pre-Crash and driver assistant systems for all company platforms (Passenger cars, Busses, Van, Truck) inside DAIMLER Chrysler AG, where he introduced Lidar technology in Chrysler cars. In 1986 he started his career at AEG Research Center, where he did research on III/V-semiconductor processing techniques, mm-Wave device and MMIC-design (up to 120GHz). He achieved several records in high frequency devices and MMICs with III/V semiconductors. He got the academic award “Preis der VDE/ITG” in 1993. The research achievements of him and his group can be found in https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Juergen_Dickmann. He holds various patents.

Interfaces in Complex Systems - Restoring Order! ממשקים במערכות מורכבות - עושים סדר
2021-11-21 16:00 - 17:30 (Asia/Jerusalem) | Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/289680
הממשק הוא מרכיב מרכזי וקריטי בכל מערכת מורכבת, מעצם הגדרתה כאוסף של רכיבים הפועלים יחד, בתיאום ובשיתוף פעולה, לצורך השגת יעדים משותפים. יחד עם זאת, פעמים רבות נתפש נושא הממשקים במערכת כמשני או שולי, מבלי להבין שהממשק אינו רק אמצעי להעברת נתונים, גלים וחומרים, אלא אמצעי קריטי ליצירת הסדר והסינרגיה במערכת. כמו כן, הגדרת גבולות הממשק פעמים רבות אינה ברורה ואינה שיטתית דיה. לעתים אנו מכנים אלמנטים מסוימים במערכת "ממשקים" מבלי להבין שהם מהווים רק נקודת גישה לממשק. כמו כן, הפרספקטיבה התת-מערכתית גורמת למיקוד התכן ברכיבים במקום באינטראקציות בין הרכיבים, ובהיעדר שימוש מספק בכלים פורמליים להגדרה ותכן של ממשקים במערכות מורכבות.
במפגש זה ננסה לעשות סדר בטרמינולוגיה של תחום הממשקים וייצוגי הממשקים. נדבר על ההגדרה התקנית של "ממשק" לפי תקן ISO ועל מדרג ההפשטות הנחוצות להגדרה, אפיון, תכן וקביעת התצורה של ממשקים. נדבר על הארכיטקטורה השלמה של הממשק ועל תהליך הגדרת הממשק. בכדי לאפשר שיח סדור ושיטתי, נשתמש לשם שינוי בכלים למידול פורמלי של מערכות מורכבות לצורך מידול ממשקים, ונראה את השקילות בין מערכת לממשק. נשתמש הן במתודלוגיית עצמים-תהליכים – Object-Process Methodology (OPM) והן בשפת המידול האחודה – Unified Modeling Language (UML) ובפרופיל הייעודי שלה למערכות מורכבות המוכר כ-Systems Modeling Language או SysML.
המפגש מיועד ליצור הסדרה רעיונית של השפה המשותפת להבנת מהות מושג הממשק, תפקיד, תכולת ומבנה הממשק. אנו רואים בהסדרה רעיונית זו תפקיד חשוב של האיגוד הישראלי להנדסת מערכות. בנוסף המפגש מספק צוהר למגוון השיטות והכלים שבהם ניתן להשתמש לצורך הבניית תהליך ההגדרה, האפיון הארכיטקטוני והתכן של הממשק ורכיביו.
המפגש יכלול הצגה של רקע תאורטי, דוגמאות ממערכות מורכבות בעולם האמיתי, והדגמה של כלים שכל אחד יכול להוריד מהאינטרנט לצורך תחילת עבודה. לסיכום נגיע למסקנה חשובה לגבי הרעיון המערכתי שבבסיסה של הנדסת הממשק.

PCB Course
2021-11-22 09:00 - 2021-11-25 16:00 (Asia/Hebron) | Nablus, West Bank, Palestine
The Robotics and Automation society, in partnership with the Power and Energy, Industrial Applications societies, and IEEE Palestine YP AG, prepared a course entitled PCB Design, which is a course about circuits printed on a board used to connect electronic components electrically as they are the basis of electronic circuits used in all electronic commercial products, and is based on the use of a chemical solution to dissolve a conducting copper plate for electricity and leaves only the parts to be left that were previously covered with a substance that prevents the solution from reaching the copper layer, due to the continuous development in the field of applied electronics, many of the students have ideas for projects to implement, but the obstacle is always at the manufacturing stage, and how to give the project a good shape and design. Traditional methods do not suffice, hence the need to learn a new skill, which is how to manufacture printed circuits and the sound foundations on which to build your design. This course will be a link between theoretical content and practical application.
Course topics:
1-The basics of proper design of printed circuits
2- How to draw an electrical circuit diagram
3- How to convert this diagram to a printed circuit
4- Complete electronic board design and implementation
5- Soldering the different components on the board
The course consisted of four meetings spreaded over two weeks, presented by the
engineers Abdullah Hinnawi and Munir Al-Agbar, who helped and supervised the
construction of the circuit from the theoretical and practical side until its end.

Cryo-CMOS electrical interfaces for large-scale quantum computers - Prof. Fabio Sebastiano, Delft University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands
2021-11-24 16:00 - 17:00 (Asia/Jerusalem) | Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/298987
Quantum computers operate by processing information stored in quantum bits (qubits), which must typically operate at cryogenic temperature. Today the qubits are mostly controlled by conventional electronics working at room temperature. This thermal gap can be readily bridged by a few wires since today’s quantum computers employ only a few qubits. However, practical quantum computers will require more than thousands of qubits, making this approach impractical. A more scalable approach requires operating a complex electronic interface at cryogenic temperature, very close to the quantum processor, eventually in the same package or even on the same chip. Thanks to its high integration capabilities, CMOS is the most viable technology for such a cryogenic interface. In this talk, we will first review the functionalities required to drive and control the most popular qubit technologies, and the requirements on the performance of the electronics. Based on those requirements and the behavior of CMOS devices at cryogenic temperature, several state-of-the-art cryo-CMOS circuits and systems have been designed, both for qubit drive and readout, and we will show their verification with real-world qubits, highlighting challenges and opportunities. Finally, the prospects towards large-scale quantum computers will be outlined, and we will try to answer the questions: Is the electronics a bottleneck for future quantum computers? How will we design cryo-CMOS circuits to tackle this challenge?
Fabio Sebastiano received the B.Sc. (cum laude) and M.Sc. (cum laude) degrees in electrical engineering from University of Pisa, Italy, in 2003 and 2005, respectively, the M.Sc. degree (cum laude) from Sant’Anna school of Advanced Studies, Pisa, Italy, in 2006 and the Ph.D. degree from Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands, in 2011.
From 2006 to 2013, he was with NXP Semiconductors Research in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, where he conducted research on fully integrated CMOS frequency references, nanometer temperature sensors, and area-efficient interfaces for magnetic sensors. In 2013, he joined Delft University of Technology, where he is currently an Associate Professor and the Research Lead of the Quantum Computing Division of QuTech. He has authored or co-authored one book, 11 patents, and over 80 technical publications. His main research interests are cryogenic electronics, quantum computing, sensor read-outs, and fully integrated frequency references.

Digital Predistortion for 5G MIMO Transmitters Using Machine Learning
2021-12-15 10:00 - 12:00 (Asia/Jerusalem) | Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/297808
Digital predistortion (DPD) has been widely adopted to keep RF power amplifier operating with high efficiency without losing linearity in the exiting 4G systems. It is expected that DPD will continue to be deployed in 5G systems. However, due to shifting from the single antenna to the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) phased array and continuously increased signal bandwidth, system designers face significant challenges in managing power consumption and meeting linearity requirement of wireless transmitters. In this talk, we will discuss how the recently developed machine learning techniques can be utilised to resolve some of the issues in linearizing 5G MIMO systems, including data-clustering assisted DPD for multiple dynamic configurations, model tree-based behavioural model construction and simplified model extraction techniques.

For a long time now, location data has not been the sole preserve of navigation devices, and nowadays such user data is collected from almost all electronic devices. The wealth of data and the ever increasing ability of processing such vast quantities, offers unprecedented information to analyze human mobility, cultivating an extensive variety of applications in location-based services such as intelligent transportation systems and smart cities. In recent years, many studies have been conducted into predicting the next location the user is expected to reach, based on a history of previous locations. Existing route-prediction methods have difficulty coping with a large number of trips, all the more so if they are spread across a wide geographical area.

Bringing ML to the extreme edge: a story of co-optimizing processor architectures, scheduling and models
2022-01-19 10:00 - 12:00 (Asia/Jerusalem) | Haifa, Haifa District, Israel, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/297199
We invite you to a free online seminar on “Bringing ML to the extreme edge: a story of co-optimizing processor architectures, scheduling and models” given by Prof. Marian Verhelst, KU Leuven, Belgium.
Deep neural network inference comes with significant computational complexity, making their execution until recently only feasible on power-hungry server or GPU platforms. The recent trend towards real-time embedded neural network processing on edge and extreme edge devices requires a thorough cross-layer optimization. The talk will analyze what impacts NN execution energy and latency. Subsequently, we will present different research lines of Prof. Verhelst’s lab exploiting and jointly optimizing NPU/TPU processor architectures, dataflow schedulers and conditional, quantized neural network models for minimum latency and maximum energy efficiency. This includes precision-scalable fully-digital designs, as well as compute-in-memory processors. Finally, this talk will make a case for more methodological design space exploration in the vast optimization space of embedded NN processors, using the ZigZag framework.
Please sign up and join us on Wednesday, January 19, 2022 at 10:00 (Israel Time).
A link to the Zoom session will be provided after registration.

Lightning Interaction with Transmission and Distribution Power Systems
2022-02-22 12:00 - 13:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/301750
The growing use of sensitive electronic devices and the increasing demand of utility customers for stability of the power supply in the recent years have emphasized the importance of improving the reliability and power quality levels of electric systems. Although various phenomena and situations can cause disturbances on power transmission and distribution networks, lightning is usually responsible for a significant amount of unscheduled supply interruptions and permanent damages to equipment such as distribution transformers, as well as damages to or malfunction of sensitive electronic equipment. It is therefore essential to evaluate the lightning electromagnetic environment in order to mitigate its effects and improve the power system quality. In this lecture, the major mechanisms by which lightning overvoltages can be produced on power transmission and distribution (medium and low-voltage) systems are explained, the general characteristics of the overvoltages are evaluated and their dependence upon the network configuration and some of the most important ground and stroke parameters are discussed, with examples of measured and calculated voltage waveshapes.
