IEEE SSIT Chapter Meeting – Self-Driving Cars: The Good, the Bad & the Ugly
Self-driving cars have been a dream from almost the time the automobile was invented. With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), this dream has seemingly become reality with driverless commercial operations already taking place in a handful of cities around the world. However, the recent tragic accident involving a pedestrian and a Cruise self-driving car, as well as a number of high-profile Tesla crashes, raise the possibility that such systems may not actually be as capable as envisioned, and questions have arisen about their safety both nationally and internationally. Given these concerns, it is important to step back and analyze both the actual safety records of these vehicles and just why AI is struggling to operate safely under all conditions in autonomous vehicles. This talk will highlight the strengths and weaknesses of AI in self-driving cars, as well as in all safety-critical applications, and lay out a roadmap for safe integration of these technologies on public roadways.

[] Join us for a reading of a talk by CM Jansky, Jr "who was a participant at many conferences dealing with radio regulations, broadcast planning, and radio navigation and sea rescue. He became a member of the Institute of Radio Engineers (now the Institute of Electrical and Electronic engineers) in 1918, being made a Fellow Member in 1928. He was President of the Institute in 1934 and a member of its Board of Directors from 1929 to 1942. He was senior partner of the firm Jansky and Bailey, consulting radio engineers, of Washington, D.C." "Karl Guthe Jansky died in Red Bank, New Jersey in February, 1950 at the age of forty-four. In the trying period that followed his death I told the members of his family that his contribution to basic science was such that the full value of his discovery would not be recognized for at least half a century. How wrong can a man be! Here just six years later I found myself before a group of astronomers, physicists and radio engineers far more competent that I, viewing with amazement the progress which has taken place in recent years in a new branch of astronomy based upon a scientific discovery made by a man I am proud to say was my brother."

Foxconn Visit
Foxconn Visit
The ECE Students from UMU will be participating in a technical visit to Foxconn. Below is a copy of the email sent by a representative from Foxconn to promote the visit. We are presently building electric tractors for a company named Monarch. We are also in negotiations with several manufacturers regarding new business opportunities. These are all related to Electric Vehicle manufacturing. Some of these products are ride share vehicles. Others are midsize and full-size delivery vehicles. In our body shop, we build the entire cab of the vehicle from steel and aluminum parts. We place the parts in custom designed mechanical fixtures. We use welding robots to automatically weld the parts together. Then material handling robots pick up the new assembly and move it to the next automation station. The next station may automatically dispense adhesive or sealer under robot control. Then more parts may be added, and more welding takes place. All the robotic welding and sealing is coordinated by Allen Bradley PLCs that communicate to the robots, weld controllers and sealant systems. We need: - Mechanical engineers to design and analyze fixture details and subassembly dimensions. - Controls engineers to write and adjust PLC programs to control the automation. - Electrical engineers to design and maintain the control circuits and safety systems. - Computer Engineers to design, program and maintain the vision systems, data collection equipment and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). - Industrial engineers to design, analyze and improve the production processes.

Beyond GPT – Knowledge Advantage Machines
Beyond GPT – Knowledge Advantage Machines
The term “Artificial Intelligence” was coined by John McCarthy in 1956 to attract more attention to the planned Computer Science Conference at Dartmouth. Ever since, the society expected someday machines will do the manual labor and thinking for us and we will live in a society of leisure surrounded by unlimited number of “Machine-Servants.” Even after 68 years, we have not realized that Utopian Society. We may be closer than ever, but we are not there, and may never be. If we examine the history of science and technology, we will realize mere invention of a technology will not automatically improve the society. Machines that can do what we do must be invented before the promise of the inventions could be fully realized. Invention of steam engine did not automatically benefit farmers until machines like tractor and harvester were developed. Invention of electricity didn’t automatically impact society until the lightbulb, motors, etc. were developed. Recent developments in Generative AI and the possibility of developing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) has led to wild speculations on the future of society. In this talk I will discuss the concept of Knowledge Advantage and how it could be exploited by Knowledge Workers using Personal Knowledge Advantage Machines that are within reach.

Prof Yung-Hsiang Lu Distinguished Visitor Seminar (Virtual) – World-Wide Camera Networks
Prof Yung-Hsiang Lu Distinguished Visitor Seminar (Virtual) – World-Wide Camera Networks
[] Abstract: More than 80% consumer Internet traffic is for videos and most of them are recorded videos. Meanwhile, many organizations (such as national parks, vacation resorts, departments of transportation) provide real-time visual data (images or videos). These videos allow Internet users to observe events remotely. This speech explains how to discover real-time visual data on the Internet. The discovery process uses a crawler to reach many web pages. The information on these web pages are analyzed to identify candidates of real-time data. The data is downloaded multiple times over an extended time period; changes are detected to determine whether it is likely to provide real-time data. The data can be used during an emergency. For example, viewers may check whether a street is flooded and cannot pass. It is also possible using the data to observe long-term trends, such as how people react to movement restrictions during the COVID pandemic. Bio: Yung-Hsiang Lu is a professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University. He is a University Faculty Scholar of Purdue University. He is a fellow of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), distinguished visitor of the Computer Society, distinguished scientist and distinguished speaker of the ACM (Association for Computing Machinery).
