Research is a systematic investigative process. L&T Technology Services works in autonomous drive, increasing knowledge and working with various OEMs and Tier-1s to discover new facts and implementations in a limited time. Although many problems turn out to have several solutions (the means to close the gap or correct the deviation), difficulties arise where such means are either not obvious or are not immediately available. Similarly, L&T Technology Services faced many challenges in developing autonomous applications, such as a sensor fusion model, deep learning architecture, machine learning, Lidar-based object detection, and a control model, which can be time-consuming to develop.

The challenges in this project were mainly the volume of the data that had to be churned to come up with any valid analysis, leading to a big data problem. The analysis had to be performed for data exploration, and feature engineering was aimed at achieving an understanding of the fuel economy profile for different geographical areas, variations based on temperature, and geographical terrain, as well as generating drive cycles capturing real-world driving scenarios. The team at Honda also needed to scale up to reduce the computational time due to the huge amount of data.
Efficient utilization of resources is one of the prime considerations while streamlining processes, be it to reduce either operational or computational costs. Day-to-day applications require trying out various approaches and then selecting reliable optimization routines. For example, how does someone decide on the number of components to purchase to increase yield in a production throughput while keeping in mind the constraint on components pricing? Using the huge amount of process data that is collected, how are sensitive parameters, which significantly affect the output, determined? What should the value of these parameters be or which settings should be tweaked in these components to maximize the returns with minimal cost? These and many more factors may need to be considered to set up efficient workflows or design processes with the objective of maximizing rewards and minimizing risks.

Use optimization techniques to arrive at the optimal solution
In this presentation, Gopinath Chidambaram will explain how the challenges L&T Technology Services faced in autonomous system development have been addressed using MATLAB and Simulink®.
The motivation for this project at Honda is to develop strategies for BS6 norms and create tests for fuel economy and emission constraints. In this project, data is being collected in large volumes through telematics from field vehicles of different makes and operating in multiple geographical and climatic conditions. These varying operating conditions and driving patterns lead to varying vehicle performance, drive efficiency, and emissions. Furthermore, it leads to a vast difference in calibration needs since performance changes with the different riding and operating conditions of the field vehicle.
One of the key challenges offered by automotive radar designs is the functional and performance verification of signal processing hardware implementations like sigma delta ADCs, decimation chains, and filters. Verification of these signal processing blocks can be either done in time-domain or frequency domain. Time domain checks involve developing reference verification models, which are used to check the correctness of DUT implementation.

Integrating antenna models with the rest of the system
AI, or artificial intelligence, is powering a massive shift in how engineers, scientists, and programmers develop and improve products and services. 85% of executives expect to gain or strengthen their competitive advantage through the use of AI, but is AI really poised to transform your research, products, or business?
Designing efficient power electronics systems has become critical with the evolving need for an electric grid, the rise of electric vehicles, and the expansion of variable speed motors for increasing efficiency in industrial applications. Some of the key challenging questions that power electronics engineers often have in designing such efficient power converters are how to reduce the size of components; how to determine various losses of the power electronics system; and how to design feedback control algorithm and test the power electronics controllers in real time.

The presentation illustrates how MATLAB supports all major phases of this workflow. Starting with algorithm design, the algorithm may employ deep neural networks augmented with traditional computer vision techniques and can be tested and verified within MATLAB. Next, these networks are trained using GPU and parallel computing support for MATLAB either on the desktop, cluster, or the cloud. Finally, GPU Coder™ generates portable and optimized C/C++ and/or CUDA®code from the MATLAB algorithm, which is then cross-compiled and deployed to CPUs and/or a Tegra®board. Benchmarks show that performance of the auto-generated CUDA code is ~2.5x faster than MXNet, ~5x faster than Caffe2, ~7x faster than TensorFlow®, and on par with TensorRT™ implementation.
This methodology serves the basic requirement of checking functional correctness of DUT, but involves the development effort of reference models, which are highly sensitive to DUT design changes. Therefore, the team at NXP started looking at this problem to come up with a verification means using the powerful signal analysis functions of MATLAB®, and thereby, reducing the repetitive model development and increased verification productivity. The verification metrics used to evaluate the DUT implementation are FFT, SNR, and THD, which are computed using the built-in functions in MATLAB.
This talk presents and demonstrates available tools and techniques for designing and testing 5G new radio physical layer algorithms; massive MIMO architectures and hybrid beamforming techniques for mmWave frequencies; and details on modeling and mitigating channel and RF impairments.
When designing mixed-signal systems, isolated analog and digital design flows can cause integration issues to be discovered late, which can then lead to delayed projects and costly design rework. In addition, slow simulations in traditional EDA tools limit design exploration and exhaustive test coverage during verification which can lead to a non-optimal, and in the worst case, faulty design. System-level behavioral modeling using MathWorks tools allows issues to be discovered earlier in design cycle, saving precious time and effort. In addition, rapid behavioral simulations using MathWorks tools enable extensive architecture exploration and increased verification coverage. In this talk, you will learn about behavioral modeling, rapid design exploration, and verification of mixed-signal systems through:
