 Andrew Roberts from ST Microelectronics, so let's start the tour of our booth with the ST Experian, so Hello, I'm Frederic. I will show you our interactive table and we are still getting here on the wall some example of customer products So right now you selected this one and somehow it shows that your technology is inside the Note 8. Exactly, inside the Note 8 we have gyroscope, we have some pressure sensors, we have microcontrollers and then thanks to the interactive table you can know more about all the products we have here So there was a hard drive just before? A hard drive, so you arrived over there from Seagate where we have power management solutions So what do you do in the hard drive? We have power management solutions provided by ST and Seagate is one of one of our key customers for our drive And using those elements we can go further into the ST portfolio here for the solution for the touch screen We can browse the portfolio and have more explanation on what we are doing at ST on plenty of use cases What do you do in the shoe? In the shoes Is it a step tracker? It's from Nike. We have some microcontrollers and some motion memes It's a brand new shoes from Nike and we have components inside So there's some glasses that have something? Yeah, the glasses are from Atoll from a French company We can go to the glasses there We have a microcontroller, we have motion memes and we have even some video running for this product and have more information What do you do in the Nintendo Switch? In Nintendo we have again plenty of microcontrollers and motion memes and we have also NFC, our NFC solutions that are made into this component So actually ST is selling billions and billions of chips right? Billions of components for microcontrollers, connectivity solutions, power management We have also sensors, we have analog products We have a very wide portfolio of products for microcontrollers Awesome, thanks a lot. So can we look around you both a little bit? Let's go and have a look at an application for the smart home This is an application that shows voice and edge computing So Roberto, please Hi, what are you showing here? Hi, yes, we're showing a reference design of a smart home that can be controlled by voice or by gesture using sensors and actuators So which sensors are the ST sensors in here? These are honesty sensors, we have sensors that can detect the gesture Time of flight sensors Or sensors that can detect temperature and environmental parameters You know, when I make a gesture I can open or close this window with a gesture Nice And the system is an IoT architecture where the control is local and on the cloud at the same time So this gesture What does it mean, the coin station? It has nothing to do with Bitcoin, no? No, it's called Bluecoin in this case What's the Bitcoin? It's this board, it's an Apple board with four microphones that supports advanced audio processing with which I can call Alexa Turn on the kitchen light Just with this little like this? Just with the little system It has four microphones? It has four microphones, I can use one or two or four depending on how strong I want the interaction to be Alexa How old is Donald Trump? Look Donald Trump is 71 years old I thought he was 73, are you sure? Okay, that's great So with this system I can ask Alexa to do things for me Alexa, turn off the kitchen light And the command is interpreted by the cloud and the light goes off Nice Alexa, turn on smart home demo Sorry, I didn't find smart home Alexa can't find my smart home, let's try again Alexa Alexa So sometimes Alexa has connectivity It's very busy right here, there's a difficult connection You know a nice feature of this system is that Whenever there is no connectivity I can always do gesture I can get an instant response because whatever happens in the cloud I press also locally in this edge computing station Implementing Amazon Greengrass in this specific case Alexa Alexa is sleeping, that's okay If you give me a second I can ask So what is this board here that you're rebooting? We're rebooting a board implementing the AVS gateway That is the gateway allowing Alexa to interact with us And this is based on an STM32 controller So it's a low cost implementation, very simple And it could be implemented in any existing system How long is the battery life of this big battery? Depending on software optimization, this can last for several days Alexa, how are you today? I'm doing great You know cats sometimes talk to me when there's nobody else around So far I've learned one word Meow Alexa, where's Ivanka Trump right now? At a White House governor's meeting President Donald Trump said that he would have personally run into the Florida school During the shooting that occurred earlier this month Even if he were unarmed So Alexa knows everything Alexa knows everything, yes And she's helping to run our smart home now Alexa, open smart home demo This is the connection It's the connection, yes, yes Alright, thank you very much Thank you And you have a lot of other demos around here, right? Okay Now let's go and have a look at how our mem speakers are revolutionizing headphones Alright, so here it says actuate So what are you showing over here? So today we are showing a demo done in collaboration with U-Sound As I've now said previously We are manufacturing mems with ST technology And U-Sound is designing tiny micro speakers So U-Sound right here And doing what? What is happening here? Micro speakers that are positioned inside the headphones So there's many speakers in there? Yes, seven per ear And what does it do? 360-degree sound So if you want to drive And what are those things over here and there? What is going on with all that stuff? So you see that the sound is moving around these headphones Nice It's moving around my head So you can hear around you I can feel it coming Hear it coming across here So what more technology is in the headphones? What is up here and there? Up there there is the amplifier The amplifier? Yeah, at the moment it's discrete components But they are going to embed it in a smaller form factor Alright, so what is the Petra technology? Petra technology is the one that is used to manufacture the speakers So there is a piezo material that is moving a membrane That emits a sound So this is going to revolutionize the headphones? Yes, exactly You have a better sound quality with a smaller form factor A more immersive experience? Yes, exactly, a more directional sound Well, cool, awesome I definitely want to try that later Awesome, thank you Thanks And there's a lot of other things you have wireless charging for example We also have this thing Touch display Over there Just a second Here it says something about the artificial intelligence So... No problem So how do you integrate AI in the ST? There's all these new networks We can jump in there just after Just a second Let me look over here There's something to do with the flight sense Right here And some sense and touch display Alright, so can you talk about this? So do you have a sensor in water? Yes, this is a waterproof pressure sensor That's metallic So no need to coat it But it's water resistant by default Waterproof By default? Yes The whole board is Did you coat the board but not the sensor? Exactly, exactly that So what pressure? What pressure? It can resist up to 10 bar So you can swim with it without breaking it So it's to show and you watch how deep you are or what? Yes, also or it can work also in air So you use it as a standard pressure sensor That you can use for waterproof devices as well Alright So this is also something to do with touch display This touch display? Yes Yes, it's meant for industrial application So you can use a glove and touch? Yes, you can use a glove and use the touch in a harsh environment Great Cool, thank you Great, what are you showing there? What are we showing here? This is like how NFC technology It's revolutionary Maybe you can tell us about it So what are you showing right here? So here we are showing NFC smart tag So it's a tag with different sensors That can control the environmental data For example during logistics Can you hold it right here? So what is on here? So on here there is one STM32 microcontroller A big one there There is three environmental sensors Like 3D accelerometer, 3D magnetometer Humidity, temperature sensor And also nanopressure sensor Around is NFC? Around is the antenna And there is NFC chip So it's a dynamic tag ST25DV This is a dynamic tag which is used to communicate And to exchange data between the sensors In fact, and the smartphone Alright You want me to show them? Yeah, so what is this? So this is emulating Some environmental data That are changing during transportation for example So here it's emulating a cold temperature So first I need to set up my tag Saying that I will check temperature, humidity Vibration every one second So my system will sample every second It will take some measurement So now it's measuring Then I will emulated the shock That's the shock Then I will emulated cold temperature So now it's emulated like a transportation of goods Then at the end when my goods arrive I can control What happens during the transportation So I read my own data And then I can print all the data So we can see there's a lot of shocks And temperature is variation So then I can decide if something happens during transportation It's used for cold chain monitoring and so on Food transportation Yes, and cold chain transportation And containers Ice cream I don't want the ice cream to melt It's not a good thing Yes, thanks to NFC Melanase, transportation, many things Yes, exactly Maybe the pet in the airplanes to see if you're using it Yes, so you can put everything So it's like thanks Thanks So let's have a look at artificial intelligence R&D Maybe you can tell us a bit more about ST And artificial intelligence projects So our approach regarding artificial intelligence Is to propose to customers the solution According to their needs So we declared in three different segments The first one is based on the STM-42 And only on the STM-42 when we integrate What is this cube MX AI? It's development tools we use for STM-42 application And we add to cube MX And then neural network layers And the users have access immediately to those layers To implement an AI solution That's an Omkortex M4 based microcontroller But is AI possible on this? Exactly, it's not an extra chipset It's not an extra chipset, it's only the STM-42 On the second solution What we are proposing is right here So on this solution it's still on an FPGA So it's not yet at a silicon level So it's emulating a future chipset It's all R&D projects So what will happen in the future? Microcontroller with AI? With AI and if you want to reach a good level of performance So basically with this application You can manage with a few classes, up to ten With this application, with this IP You can manage with hundreds of different classes And with the last solution you can go to thousands Let's go over here So this time right here This is called the Deep Learning ST Orlando V1 So it's a deep convolutional neural network SOC So it's a SOC solution It's a new SOC It's right here This SOC, what is the SOC in here? Well, the SOC is this... Is it a microcontroller? It's a heterogeneous system based on ST architecture That includes hardware accelerator as well as ST DSPs Is it no ARM or something else? There is an M4 ARM that is used for control of the system And what is a useful neural network? What is it designed for that part? The networks that we can deploy are a variety of different topologies And training set We vary from the AlexNet topology for object classification To the tiny YOLO network that can detect multiple objects on the scene And vary from the scene evaluation Face recognition and face expression analysis As well as behavior analysis So it says here 28nm years FDSOI SOC Yes For deep convolutional neural networks Is this shaping or is it the prototype? This is an R&D prototype First prototype of the SOC? Yes The development of the prototype is ongoing And eventually there will be microcontrollers with AI With neural networks The AI is already implemented in this system Eventually it can be connected to a central controller Like a system based on ARM How so many is this chipset available on the market? I don't have a specific deadline for... And this will be important for the mobile world? There will be a lot of security cameras with AI? This is meant for run smoothly on autonomous systems So for any mobile or battery operated system It is meant for object detection on a variety of applications And right here it says... So you have a lot of partners? This is an R&D project A lot of interest at the show? Yes, a lot of people that are coming to ask Many different questions Finally one last one Precise positioning are extremely precise GNSS applications So Louis can tell you a bit more about that Is this more than GPS? More than GPS, so it's GPS, GLONASS, Baidu All the flavors, multi-constellation for GNSS others So really targeting high accuracy with functional safety for automotive How accurate? So we bring down to 20 cm accuracy to Sigma So really high reliability behind this application For automakers, tier ones So we're not targeting mass markets really for automotive with security And here it looks like there's a chip that says escape No, escape is a project We're announcing today that escape is already a research project funded by European Union To really bring the best of European companies So our silicone is inside So you have chipset? And these companies, what do they do? So this is a tier one, integrating And the group here knows testing in their vehicles for autonomous driving So it's really going to help to sell driving cars It will help? Yes, exactly To locate them in the maps, in HD maps But after that also bringing security Because maps might have some errors So absolute positioning brings the best accuracy and reliability So is it the STM32 or something else? No, it's different Actually you're lucky So today in about 10 minutes It will be announced worlds first Dual frequency, multi-constellation, GNSS silicone It's a different product It's a new silicone Just targeting high accuracy, high safety applications So my video is 19 minutes So we have to wait until the 29th minute Before you can say exactly what it is No, I can show you, we have a silicone So it's a new chipset? Is it a microcontroller? No, no, it's a chipset for GPS So for positioning That can provide multi-constellation GPS, GLONASS, Baidu For the Chinese market, Indian market, Japanese And of course European, Galileo For Europe Bringing multi-constellation That brings down the QC to 20 centimeters There is no other company doing this Everybody else doing software or what? They bring different software And they cannot bring FPGAs? Probably FPGAs But they cannot bring safety So ASIL And the silicone What is ASIL? So it stands for a functional safety So QC and safety for automotive applications And can you say if this is an ARM Cortex-M? Yes, so our silicone Actually I have here the picture You can see it, so it's been real here It's this one, TZ-05 You hold it, I'll tell you a second So it's this one Which one? This one, TZ-05 So it's an M7 base? M7, correct What is the Hyperbos? There's a different communication For this silicone And if you want also the functional safety Then it's TZ-OPP This one So it's the same Multiconstellation and multi-frequency And this is a differentiation For functional safety So the name of it is TZ-O TZ-O What does TZ-O mean? TZ-O is actually a mythical Greek figure That help people navigate To non-areas This is like the guide on the boat and the ship Exactly Something like that And then we're using TZ-O is old family already We are actually very innovative since the 1990s In the end of the 1990s Single frequency, single constellation And now, all together Multiconstellation, multi-frequency For high accuracy Why is the box this size? Is it because it's automatic We need a big thing To make a smaller one too? Definitely, the silicone The silicone is actually very small Just less than one centimeter by one centimeter Can this be in a child tracker or something? Definitely, it could be In the watch It could be in the watch Definitely It could be where? In many different locations Smartphone, for instance Pet tracker Pet tracker But here for high accuracy and safety We're targeting mostly automotive Automotive is most important It's the most important Because military I don't know about the military But for automotive, definitely That's our target And we're the first ones doing this All right And how soon is it mass production Mass deployment This is all for very soon In automotive You mean two, three years time The SOP 2021 We work with all the German automakers Tier 1 So it's point production All right Thanks a lot All right That was great Thanks a lot for this So it's a busy show Very busy Very busy show And hopefully We'll see you again next year as well I'm going right now to the embedded world So that's a whole other Bunch of demos, right? You'll see lots The Fan Zone The STM32 Some automotive demo Some NFC There's lots of things to see over there So have a good trip to Nuremberg And nice to see you Thanks a lot Cheers
