CU Boulder: Autonomous Robotics and Perception Group (ARPG): Session One
How does computer science relate to robotics? Take a virtual tour with graduate students from CU Boulder’s ARPG and learn about their amazing work around robotic vision and perception, machine learning and autonomous mobile robot systems.
Jennifer Kurtz works with entrepreneurs to build sustainable business practices and achieve compliance with information security standards like ISO 27001 and NIST 800-171. She has developed and taught graduate courses in cybersecurity at Regis University since 2011; authored Hacking Wireless Access Points: Cracking, Tracking, and Signal Jacking (2016) and a chapter of The Data Breach and Encryption Handbook (2011); written numerous articles on cybersecurity; and designed online cybersecurity courses for small businesses and individuals
Jennifer Kurtz: Manufacturer's Edge/Decoding Cybersecurity
IBM: (AI)nnovation at the Edge
Join Ivan Portilla, Watson Solution Architect of IBM, during a discussion on edge computing. Edge computing is a distributed computing framework that brings enterprise applications closer to data sources such as IoT devices or local edge servers. This proximity to data at its source can deliver strong business benefits: faster insights, improved response times and better bandwidth availability.
Xilinx: Python and Edge Computing
In this talk, Xilinx will present PYNQ, Xilinx's open source initiative to bring Python productivity to highly programmable edge platforms - platforms that combine the benefits of Raspberry Pi, Arduino and programmable logic devices all on a single board.
Twitter: Security Engineering 101 at Twitter
Andy Sayler, Senior Security Engineer of Twitter, gives an overview of the field of Security Engineering and Information Security, including how digital systems fail and how we try to prevent those failures.
Cisco: AI and Machine Learning in a Cable Modem
We are all using Internet Service Providers (ISP) to connect to the internet, provide TV channels, and a telephone line. Xfinity, Spectrum, Verizon FIOS, AT&T U-verse all have millions of customers and tens of thousands of ‘devices’ in their networks. How can AI and Machine Learning help keep the internet up and as fast as we need it?
