At IPC APEX: Keynotes and Soldering Contest in Las Vegas
Bannockburn, IL — IPC has collected several top-drawer, inspirational keynote speakers to kick off this year’s APEX Expo at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas. On opening day, Tuesday, March
25, at 8:30 a.m., dynamic inspirational speaker and tech entrepreneur, Dr. Peter Diamandis, M.D., Chairman/ CEO, X PRIZE Founda tion and Chair - man/Co-Founder, Singular ity Univer - sity, will share his insights into how breakthroughs in exponentially grow- ing technologies like artificial intelli- gence, nanomaterials, 3-D printing, robotics and digital medicine will re- engineer products, companies, indus- tries, and even society, over the next
20 years. He will explain how human society has evolved from “local and lin- ear” to “global and exponential,” and how this change has not only spawned the creation of new billion dollar start- ups out of nowhere, but also led to the demise of 50-year-old billion dollar companies overnight. Through his work as Chairman
and Co-Founder of Singularity Univ - ersity and Chairman/CEO of X PRIZE, Diamandis has proven the transformational power that exponen- tially growing technology has on com- panies, governments and human ity, and on “do-it-yourself” technologists and small companies who can now achieve what only governments or
IEEE Globecom 2014 in Austin, Call for Papers
New York, NY —IEEE Globecom 2014 (
www.ieee-globecom.org/2014), the premier international event dedicated to driving innovations and technologi- cal breakthroughs in nearly every telecommunications field, has an - nounced April 1 as the “Call for Papers” deadline for original Industry Forums & Exhibition (IF&E) and technical symposium presentations. To be held December 8-12 in Austin, Texas at the Hilton Austin. The five-day flagship event of the

large corporations could do before. Swarm robotics They will flock. They will
swarm. And they will tackle the dan- gerous, dirty and dull jobs for which humans are inherently ill-suited. They’re multirobot systems, and one day they will become the norm, according to roboticist and inventor James McLurkin. “Swarm Robotics and the Toys, Movies and Insects That Made It All Possible” is the keynote topic being delivered by speaker James McLurkin, Roboticist, Inventor, Researcher and Teacher on Wednesday, March 26, at 9:00 a.m. Inspired by the complex group
behaviors found in ants, bees, wasps and termites, McLurkin’s work focus- es on developing software and pro- gramming techniques for groups of autonomous robots with populations
ranging from 10 to 10,000. Armed with degrees in electrical
engineering and computer science from M.I.T. and University of California — Berkeley, McLurkin con- tinues to harness his inventiveness to develop the robot swarms that will one day perform jobs ranging from warehouse operations to search-and- rescue missions to Mars exploration. Don’t miss this fascinating look at the future of robotics, and the technology that is making it happen.
