This event is supported by Mouser Electronics.

Special thanks to New Lab for hosting us at their fantastic venue.

AI is moving towards edge devices and making things become more intelligent. Curious about how improved AI algorithms are driving the trend towards machine learning being run on the end device rather than in the cloud?

Join us on the 16th of April to learn more from: ‍

- The world's largest semiconductor chip maker (Intel).

- America’s #1 internet connected camera brand (Arlo Technologies).

- Industry's first emotion chip maker (EmoShape).

See agenda below for full details about the speakers.

Drinks and pizza will be served throughout the night.

Patrick Levy-Rosenthal - Founder & CEO at EmoShape

Talk title: Emotion Understanding and Reasoning for IoT, AI and Robotics

About the speaker: Entrepreneur Patrick Levy-Rosenthal, who currently lives in New York. He is presented to the Artificial Intelligence Council of the United Nations, he is won an engineering award from the European Union and is been written about in Forbes magazine. EmoShape is ready to have a massive impact changing not only the devices that we interact now but for many more, we will interact in the future. Patrick has developed a new generation of microchip named EPU (Emotion Processing Unit) for Ai and Robots and the world's first Al that can feel 64 trillion possible states every 1/10 of a second.

About the company: EmoShape Inc. Inc. is dedicated to providing an edge computing solution (cloud + chip) that teaches intelligent objects how to interact with humans to yield a favourable, positive result. EmoShape emotion synthesis chip (EPU) technology represents a massive leap for Artificial Intelligence, especially in the realm of self-driving cars, personal robotics, sentient virtual reality, effective toys, IoT, pervasive computing, and other major consumer electronic devices. The growing presence of AI, robotics and virtual reality in society as a whole dictates that meaningful emotional interaction is core to removing the barrier to widespread adoption.
