Sahyadri Institute Innovation Council (IIC) organized a webinar on “Latest trends in IoT and ML-based systems” on 2nd May’2020 at 04:00 PM IST, towards how IoT will evolve successfully in the coming years.
Mr. Venkata Satya Sai Prasad, Managing Director, Audience Communication Systems (a US-based semiconductor company) was the resource person. Mr. Venkata Satya Sai Prasad has 30+ years of industry experience in IC design, system design and product management. Before this, he worked as a scientist with the Indian Defence R&D. He also worked as a research scholar in IITM and IISC. Currently, he is leading Audience Communications Systems in India (US-based Semiconductor Company) as the Managing Director & also mentoring two start-ups.
Dr. Ashwath Rao, Professor and Head of Dept. of Electronics and Communication Engineering; Dr. Anush Bekal, Vice-President & Convener, MHRDs Institute Innovation Council; Dr. Mahesh Davanageri, Internship Activity Coordinator, MHRDs Institute Innovation Council; Ms Navya Rai D, Innovation Incharge – Sahyadri IIC; Faculty members of the Institute and Students were present during the event.
In this webinar, the resource person delivered a talk about the various problems faced and opportunities in the field of IoT and ML. Students learnt that IoT is a network of physical objects embedded with electronics, software’s, sensors and network connectivity that has the ability to collect useful data and communicate with each other. The speaker put the spotlight on the data complexity and its management challenges; which was one among several problems in this field. Mr. Prasad drew the connection between IoT and Machine Learning by introducing Artificial Intelligence, which makes the hard task of handling complex and bulky data by mimicking human intelligence in an efficient way. He also informed that ML uses statistical method, where it intelligently learns from the previous data and acts accordingly. The speaker briefed us about the necessity of Cloud Computing, which makes it both easier and harder to handle data.
Dr. Manjappa Sarathi, Director R&D and President of Sahyadri IIC, has conveyed his best wishes towards all the early exposure programme and advised all the stakeholders to make the best use of it and benefit from the activities that are conducted under IIC.
