The Design Engineer's Scavenger Hunt: Solve Challenges, Win Prizes.
Day 1 Robotics · Day 2 Automotive
The Design Engineer's Guide is an interactive journey across the show floor. Pick up your Scavenger Hunt card, visit our elite partners at their booths for live demos, and get your card stamped to win prizes!
Day 2 · Automotive
Austin, TX
Edge AI & Intelligence
Implementing real-time decision-making without cloud latency. Featuring Edge Impulse as headline partner — from model training to on-device inference on constrained hardware.
Industrial-Grade Prototyping
Moving from maker boards to industrial scale. Using Embedder and Digilent to bridge the gap between proof-of-concept and 1,000-unit deployment.
Architectural Efficiency
Leveraging MIPS and high-performance semiconductors to manage power-constrained robotic systems — from ISA design to real power budgets.
Sensor Fusion & Connectivity
Integrating TQ Systems and GRINN SOM solutions so robots see and communicate reliably in harsh environments — from LiDAR integration to wireless mesh architectures.
How It Works
Grab Your Card
Start your journey at the Media Zone or any participating sponsor booth to pick up your daily Scavenger Hunt card.
