This video is part of our Sensors Converge 2022 show coverage.

In this video, STMicroelectronics' Edorado Gallizio talks about intelligent automotive sensors. STMicro's sensors can take advantage of the company's Machine Learning Core (MLC) software to analyze sensor information in real-time (Fig. 1).

1. STMicroelectronics' open-source Machine Learning Core uses decision-tree logic to provide real-time processing of sensor information.

MLC allows a programmer to handle "accelerometer, gyroscope, and external sensor data (readable through the I²C master interface) to compute a set of statistical parameters selectable by the user (such as mean, variance, energy, peak, zero-crossing, and so on) in a defined time window (Fig. 2) ."

2. Sensor data can be processed by the decision tree and accessed via the standard interfaces like SPI.

MLC can be used with automotive-grade sensors from STMicro like the LSM6DSOX and LSM6DSRX iNEMO Inertial Modules.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
