This talk highlights the next generation of wireless power transfer (WPT) network concept that is scalable, safe, and efficient and can be deployed in a UAS by incorporating waveform engineering, electromechanical beamforming, integrated phased-array antenna, and transmitter (TX)/receiver (RX) co-design. Although interest in radiative (far-field) WPT using beamforming has been growing rapidly because of its capability to energize a large number of autonomous devices, most of these works are still in the theoretical phase without any practical implementation. This talk presents the implementation of a distributed beamforming network using a bottom-up approach (from the antenna to the inter-connected network) that is highly important for addressing the challenges associated with a dynamically changing environment. Practical system-level implementation strategies and multi-scale and multi-technique approaches to building a resilient WPT network for UAVs will be discussed. First, the challenges associated with the dual approach of electrical beamforming and the mechanical steering of the TX antennas to maximize the RF-RF link efficiency will be discussed. Secondly, an investigation of the efficient rectifier circuitry designed on-chip as well as commercial off-the-shelf components (COTS) to maximize the power conversion efficiency RF-DC efficiency will be presented. Finally, future research directions on increasing the power transfer distance to scale up the amount of power delivered to the load for the proposed wireless power beaming network system will be highlighted.

Neuromorphic Computing for Future AI Systems Cory Merkel, Ph.D. Director, Brain Lab Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Engineering, RIT Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) has become the linchpin in a growing number of products, services, and research programs which are aimed at automating and enhancing the human decision-making process. There is no doubt that AI will play a central role in the future of healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, and defense, among others. However, the rapidly growing size, weight, and power (SWaP) cost of AI algorithms limits their deployment on devices with practical computing and energy constraints (satellites, wearables, wireless sensors). In this talk, I will discuss our lab’s efforts to bridge this gap by closely emulating the structure and function of biological brains, with the ultimate goal of enabling AI in the most SWaP-constrained environments. This research takes a holistic approach, examining the entire AI stack, from devices and circuits to algorithms and applications. At the lowest level, I will present our research on memristor-based circuits for implementing weighted communication pathways in artificial neural networks (ANNs) and spiking neural networks (SNNs). Memristors reduce the power and latency associated with running ANNs/SNNs on traditional computer architectures by directly emulating both the memory and computation of biological synapses. In addition, memristor plasticity enables on-chip learning and allows ANNs/SNNs to function in the presence of hardware defects and process variations. Moving up the design hierarchy, the talk will highlight ideas for biologically-inspired energy management in neuromorphic systems and efficient ANN/SNN topologies. Finally, the talk will provide an overview of our research related to the trustworthiness and potential security vulnerabilities of AI hardware with ties to human perception and psychology. Bio: Cory Merkel is an assistant professor with the Department of Computer Engineering, Rochester Institute of Technology. He earned his BS and MS degrees in computer engineering (2011) and a Ph.D. in microsystems engineering (2015) from RIT. From 2016 to 2018, Dr. Merkel was a research electronics engineer with the Information Directorate, Air Force Research Lab. He is currently the director of the Brain Lab, a multidisciplinary research lab aimed at fundamental research to enable the next generation of ultra-efficient and trustworthy AI systems. His current research focuses on mapping of AI algorithms, primarily artificial and spiking neural networks, to mixed-signal hardware, design of brain-inspired computing systems using emerging technologies, and trustworthy AI hardware. Dr. Merkel’s research has been published in a number of peer-reviewed conferences, journals, and books.

Abstract: The fusion of digital and real worlds in all dimensions will be the driving force for future sixth-generation (6G) wireless systems. Ubiquitous in-time and on-time communication services between humans, machines, robots, and their virtual counterparts are essential, and they expand from the ground to air, space, underground, and deep sea. 6G systems are not only data pipelines but also large-scale distributed computing systems with integrated sensing, processing, storage, communication and computing capabilities. It is challenging to build ubiquitous and intelligent 6G systems, handling stringent quality-of-service (QoS) requirements, providing a rich set of communication modes, including unicast, multicast, broadcast, in-cast, and group-cast, and supporting user-centric mobile applications. In this talk, we introduce a new protocol architecture architecture that can provide a wide range of control functions, and be intelligently configured for different types of 6G applications and networking environments. Its design principles, self-evolving and transformative potentials, and open issues are discussed. We also introduce two use cases applying the architecture to develop a delay-guaranteed routing protocol and a mobility-aware multi-path QUIC protocol for seamless handover in satellite networks.

In an ever-growing populous world, the automotive industry is faced with opportunities and challenges, which has been driving revolutionary changes to the automotive DNA. These involve an exponentially increasing electronic content and interconnected embedded (Cyber-Physical) systems, in contrast with the relatively simple stand-alone computing systems that once controlled basic engine and chassis functions. The realized advances in vehicle electrification, connectivity, and autonomous driving capabilities, when combined, will make our cars and trucks much different, more efficient, and much safer than those on the road today. In this talk, examples of new and emerging automotive features and systems will be discussed to show that these systems are evolving to become highly cyber-physical in nature, and perhaps represent some of the most sophisticated cyber-physical systems that exist. These technologies are considered foundational to future Intelligent Transportation Systems and have a huge potential to impact the industry and society. Before we get into such specific examples, the talk will quickly cover the motivations or market drivers which let the automotive systems to move into the CPS space.

The rapid increase in the integration of inverter-based resources (IBRs)/DERs has driven the grid transition to renewable energy, introducing challenges such as overvoltage, undervoltage, harmonics, and protection scheme failures. To manage these issues, the concept of hosting capacity (HC) was developed, defining the maximum amount of solar photovoltaics (PV) that can be accommodated by an electric grid without necessitating additional infrastructure changes. As countries worldwide adopt the goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, the rapid integration of IBRs is transforming the nature of grids globally. This webinar will explore strategies for maximizing distributed PV hosting capacity in regional 100% renewable (wind/PV) energy grids, considering technical constraints like power flow and voltage limits, as well as the uncertainties associated with renewable energy sources. Understanding and optimizing HC is crucial for effective power system planning and ensuring the reliability and quality of our future energy grids. We invite all those interested in clean energy and the future of our renewable grid to join us for this insightful session.
