Occupancy Sensing: The Intelligence Behind The Smart Home

In this episode, Andreas Kuehlmann of Arteris discusses why AI-driven attacks are raising the stakes for hardware security, why security assurance must become part of the design and verification flow, and what engineering teams should evaluate before committing a design to silicon. The conversation will explore who owns security sign-off, how teams can systematically uncover weaknesses, what regulations such as the European Union's Cyber Resilience Act (EU CRA) mean for the industry, and how hardware security assurance can help organizations move from “we tested the design” to “we can demonstrate that it was tested for security.” Moreover, it will cover what consumers of silicon chips should ask their providers in terms of cybersecurity assurance.

Occupancy sensing is becoming the intelligence enabler of Smart Home applications, creating spaces that respond automatically, efficiently and securely to human presence. In this podcast, we explore how new sensing technologies and Edge AI are transforming comfort, energy management and privacy in connected living.

 In this episode, we explore how next-generation HMI systems are evolving beyond touchscreens into intelligent, context-aware experiences powered by edge AI. Using the PSOC Edge HMI Kit — featuring integrated 60GHz radar, camera, digital and analog microphones, and on-device AI processing — we discuss how sensor fusion enables gesture recognition, voice interaction, presence detection, and adaptive user experiences.  

Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Embedded Edge, where we explore the technologies shaping the future of embedded systems. Today’s episode is brought to you by our sponsor, Infineon.In today’s hyper-connected world, embedded and IoT devices are everywhere—from our homes to critical industrial systems. But with this connectivity comes vulnerability. Cybersecurity is no longer just a software issue; it’s a holistic challenge shaped by hardware, regulations, cryptography, and the evolving threat landscape. In this episode our guest is Clark Jarvis, Software and Tools Technical Marketer at Infineon. Building on over two decades of product experience for embedded software and development tools, Clark focuses on creating efficient and intuitive design experiences to help embedded engineers ultimately master and speed the development of IoT and industrial applications. In this episode we dive deep into security topic and how Infineon is addressing these challenges, helping developers secure devices throughout their lifecycle—from prototype to production—while ensuring compliance with global standards. We’ll explore the concepts of Root of Trust, chain of authentication, consumer vs. industrial risks, and even look ahead to post-quantum security.

Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Embedded Edge, where we explore the technologies shaping the future of embedded systems. Today’s episode is brought to you by our sponsor, Infineon.In this episode, we speak with Sid Shaw, General Manager for Applications at Infineon’s Connected Secure Systems division. Sid leads Infineon’s global strategy across key application areas such as smart home, IoT, motor control, and digital health. With smart homes evolving from simple convenience to critical connected ecosystems, the demand for security, efficiency, and intelligence has never been greater. Together, we explore how Infineon is addressing these challenges, what trends are shaping consumer expectations worldwide, and how silicon innovation—from MCUs to edge AI—is driving the next wave of smarter, safer, and more sustainable living.

Today’s discussion is on one of the most important transformations happening in the automotive industry: the shift from traditional 12-volt electrical systems to modern 48-volt architectures. For decades, 12V has been the backbone of vehicle electronics, but with the rise of electrification, ADAS, infotainment, and software-defined cars, the industry is moving toward more powerful and efficient solutions.

Today, we’re exploring the fascinating evolution of wearable devices—how they’re transforming from fitness trackers into medical-grade monitors, and what that means for the future of healthcare. From real-time health data and AI-powered insights to groundbreaking diabetes technologies and emerging IoT health tools, we’ll uncover how innovation is reshaping personal health management. 

Today, it is a pleasure to have a special guest, Geir Kjosavik, joining us to discuss precisely why Nordic Semiconductor, a fabless semiconductor company that has a long track record and legacy in designing ultra-low-power wireless solutions, made the move towards power management ICs, or PMICs.  The increasing popularity of battery-operated devices, often characterized by a complex power tree that includes smartphones, hearables, wearables, IoT devices, and other complex portable equipment, has, in turn, driven up the demand for PMICs.   In this episode, we’ll explore exactly why Nordic Semiconductor entered the PMIC business in 2021 and how they increased their market share. We’ll also discuss what a PMIC is, why companies might want to consider integrating one, and precisely how Nordic’s PMIC portfolio is different from existing solutions in the marketplace.

In this episode, we sit down with Vineet Ganju, Vice President of Wireless Connectivity Products at Synaptics, a global leader in advanced sensing solutions that enhance human-device interaction. Vineet shares his expert insights on the rapidly evolving world of wireless connectivity technologies, from Wi-Fi 7 and 8 to Bluetooth innovations, Zigbee, Thread, and Ultra-Low Energy (ULE) solutions. We dive into the trends and challenges shaping the future of connected devices, the critical role of security in wireless networks, and how Synaptics is driving the next wave of Edge AI connectivity advancements for consumer electronics, wearables, smart home products, and more. Let’s talk with Vineet.

In this episode of Embedded Edge, our guest is Richard Jaenicke, director of marketing for safety- and security-critical products at Green Hills Software. With over 25 years of experience in embedded systems, Richard discusses Green Hills’ contributions to safety and security in industries such as aerospace, defense, automotive, and medical. The conversation dives into the company’s Integrity-178 real-time operating system, which ensures both safety and security for critical systems, as well as the company’s future goals in enhancing embedded system integrity across various sectors.
