The Intelligent Systems Division at SwRI has worked on a wide variety of uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) projects varying from autonomy in confined GPS denied spaces to installing sensors on transmission power lines. This talk will give an overview of the UAS projects the Robotics Department has worked on in the last few years. A major focus has been autonomous navigation and exploration with UAS in GPS denied environments. SwRI has developed a software stack that enables exploration in indoor environments without reliance on GPS for localization. The stack has been used to explore and map the interior of a nuclear power plant, natural limestone caves in San Antonio, and a variety of warehouse buildings. The system can operate fully autonomously without any user input except a takeoff and explore command. Beyond mapping the environment, the vehicles can carry other sensors such as radiation sensors as demonstrated during the EnRicH 2021 European Robotics Hackathon. This technology also has potential applications to explore off planet caves to search for signs of past life on Mars and the Moon. SwRI has worked with the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) to develop an installation system for high voltage power transmission monitors using UAS. The system mounted on a UAS can install an EPRI RF monitor onto power transmission lines without requiring linemen or bucket trucks. The system increases the safety of the installation and significantly reduces the amount of time required to install the monitors. Talk is limited to US citizens. Registration is required. Cookies and drinks will be provided. Speaker(s): Anthony Bldg: Building 51, 6220 Culebra Rd, San Antonio, Texas, United States, 78245

6 pm Prompt Engineering: Making the most out of LLMs Synopsis: Speakers are the authors of https://www.manning.com/books/prompt-engineering-in-action. (There will be a raffle for five free books to be given away to the selected in-person attendees. All attendees will get a special discount code to purchase the book. Other than that, the speakers assure that the presentation will not discuss the book in any way or form.) LLMs are in every part of our lives. They play a vital role in increasing productivity, improving creativity, and bridging the technology gap between different industries. Hard-to-optimize problems have today become when to optimize because the technology is readily available. In this talk, we will look at different aspects of Prompt Engineering, including templates, techniques, and patterns that you can use while interacting with models. We will also walk through advanced techniques such as RAG and show how implementing these can solve some limitations and real-world problems that we face today. LLMs are transforming industries by enhancing productivity, fostering creativity, and bridging technological gaps. As AI capabilities expand, the challenge is no longer whether problems can be optimized but how to optimize effectively. This talk explores the principles of Prompt Engineering, covering key templates, techniques, and patterns to enhance model interactions. We will dive into advanced strategies like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and show their real-world applications in overcoming LLM limitations. Attendees will walk away with actionable insights to harness the full potential of LLMs in their workflows. --------------------------------------------------------------- 7 pm Hands-on Workshop: Building Advanced AI Applications and Agents in One Hour This workshop offers a comprehensive and hands-on experience in building advanced AI applications and AI agents. We will use the state-of-the-art Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision Language Models(VLMs) to explain the process. Participants will explore practical techniques to leverage these powerful models for tasks such as Natural Language Understanding (NLU), Natural Language Processing (NLP), decision-making, text/image generation, and task automation. This workshop enables attendees to understand the essential topics, including open-source package requirements in Python, model selection, fine-tuning, and integrating external data sources. The session covers the design and implementation of AI agents by utilizing open-source models like Llama for tuning parameters and deploying real-world AI solutions. Emphasis will be placed on architecture design, training optimization, scalability, efficiency, and ethical considerations. The workshop will adapt its use case and model selection (e.g., language agent vs. vision agent) based on the audience's background to ensure the relevance and effectiveness of the session. By the end of the session, participants will have the foundational knowledge and skills to effectively create and deploy full-stack AI applications and agents tailored to their fields of interest.

Abstract- The massive data deluge from mobile, IoT, and edge devices, together with powerful innovations in data science and hardware processing, have established artificial intelligence (AI) as the cornerstone of modern medical, automotive, industrial automation, and consumer electronics domains. Domain-specific AI accelerators now dominate CPUs and GPUs for energy-efficient AI and machine learning processing. However, the evolution of these electronic accelerators is facing fundamental limits due to the slowdown of Moore’s law and the reliance on metal wires, which severely bottleneck computational performance today. In this talk, I will present my vision of how silicon photonics can drive an entirely new class of light-driven AI hardware accelerators that can provide orders of magnitude energy improvements over today’s accelerators. I will discuss the evolution of silicon photonics, from integrated optics to photonic devices that can now be fabricated with low-cost CMOS-compatible manufacturing techniques. I will cover new directions in the design of robust and secure photonic substrates for communication, computation, and storage to support emerging AI applications based on LLMs, graph processing, and generative modeling. I will share experiences from my journey over the past two decades towards realizing viable silicon photonic architectures. I will end the talk with a discussion of the open challenges to achieve unparalleled energy-efficiency and performance gains in future computing platforms with silicon photonics.

Modernizing the electric grid will require investments that support building electrification, which includes increasing distribution system capacity to account for heat pump heating and cooling and EV charging. Denver's Office of Climate Action, Sustainability, and Resiliency (CASR) is actively working with Xcel Energy and the Public Utilities Commission to update Denver's electric grid to enable the city to meet its zero emission goals. Vince Fuggetta from CASR will provide an overview of programs, policies, and projects designed to guide our city through the clean energy transition.

Come join us for this Dine and Learn event hosted by the Denver Section and University of Colorado Boulder. You're invited to participate in an exciting and engaging presentation titled "From Wafers to Cutting-Edge Products: The process of Testing, Packaging, and Design" by Tim Swettlen. Whether you're a college student eager to expand your knowledge or a technical professional looking to stay informed in this evolving industry, this presentation aims to cover the key test and assembly stages that deliver functional products to market. * Food and beverage will be provided. * Parking code will be provided to event registrants. Abstract: As Moore’s Law slows down on transistor density at the die level, advanced packaging methods are bridging the gap and continue to deliver ever more powerful products. To understand these changes, a thorough understanding of the testing flow is important as more die are stacked on a single final product. This talk starts as the wafer exits the fab, is exposed to a battery of tests and routed to its highest value package and product. Each die on the wafer is processed on the same test flow but its testing results will direct it to different bins sold at different selling prices. These complex test flows allow the right parts to be assembled into the best final product whether it’s an advanced smart phone or an entry level AI accelerator card.
