  Brittany Ng, Siemens Maritime Division, On Getting the US Back in the Game

  May 13, 202626 minS1

  <p>We sit down with Brittany Mays Ing, VP of Siemens Maritime, right after her US Senate testimony on “Less Hype, More Help” about AI and unpack what industrial AI looks like when you have to build real ships on real timelines. We connect digital twins, copilots, and the digital thread to the biggest constraint shipbuilders face today: talent, throughput, and first-time quality. <br/>• Why Brittany gets tapped to speak to Congress about industrial AI across manufacturing <br/>• How Siemens Maritime uses the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio plus Altair tools for shipbuilding <br/>• Why ship design tools look different from typical CAD and simul...

  Seeing Around Corners? We Can Do That, says Tristan Swedish of Ubicept

  May 11, 202630 minS1

  <p>We dig into SPAD photon-counting sensors and why converting photons into bits can change low-light imaging, motion blur, and dynamic range for real perception systems. We also connect the physics of uncertainty to modern AI so vision models stop guessing when the data is ambiguous. <br/>• How SPAD arrays work and why they differ from CMOS image sensors <br/>• Why SPAD data volume can reach terabytes and how near-sensor processing makes it usable <br/>• Photon noise as a physics limit and how integrating over time improves confidence <br/>• Motion compensation that enables longer effective exposure without motion blur <br/>• Why night color...

  Ron Close: Marketing in the Age of AI

  May 6, 202637 minS1

  <p>Research by Ron reveals how AI (ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.) ignores conventional sources such as business to business publications and industry analysts, instead citing vendor pages, Reddit, resellers, and even mystery sites. Guidelines proposed on how AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) might work in practice. </p>Comparison reviews may be the clearest path to being sourced by answer enginesRon’s AEO research goalsA prompt-based testing method across ChatGPT and Gemini Missing citations and why vendor or reseller sources get treated as authoritative The CADSoft USA mystery and how high-volume comparison pages get rewarded Why advertising incentives weaken trade media independence and credib...

  Ivan Tregear, KAIKAKU and Robots In The Kitchen

  Jan 19, 202629 minS1

  <p>We explore how purpose-built food assembly robots, computer vision, and better data can push restaurants beyond thin margins and burnout. We share what we learned by running a living-lab restaurant, why we paused it, and how we’re deploying the tech inside partner stores.<br/><br/>• Origins in delivery work and engineering<br/>• Why restaurants lag in automation<br/>• Building a living-lab restaurant for rapid iteration<br/>• Pausing the pilot to deploy with partners<br/>• Using robots for repetitive prep and assembly<br/>• Keeping humans focused on hospitality<br/>• Capturing sensor and vision data at the line<br/>• Pitfalls of bad “labor opti...

  Richard Chleboski, 24M and a Thousand-Mile Battery that Is Safer By Design

  Dec 31, 202538 minS1

  <p>We unpack how 24M combines electrode-to-pack design, a fast, high-conductivity electrolyte, and a sensing separator to aim for thousand-mile range and safer batteries. The talk spans dendrites and thermal runaway, drone-ready shapes, long-duration storage, and real-world paths to scale and recycle.<br/><br/>• ETOP packaging for higher energy density and custom shapes<br/>• Impervia separator that suppresses dendrites and senses faults<br/>• Eternalite electrolyte enabling five-minute charge and late-cycle power<br/>• Lithium metal safety strategy and thermal runaway prevention<br/>• Drone and aviation use cases with conformable packs<br/>• EV vs ESS market dynamics and policy uncertainty<br/>• Manufacturing strategy and o...
