This is going to be a story in three parts. If we’re lucky, they’ll be related, but I’m not making any promises. Let’s start by discussing one of the things I know nothing about. Yes, I know this is a long (and ever-growing) list, but in this case, I’m thinking about the design and analysis of antennas and radar systems.

In this week’s podcast, we’re exploring the three trends poised to redefine how we design, simulate, and deploy complex systems in 2026 and beyond: agentic AI and the model context protocol for tool integration, hybrid terrestrial and non‑terrestrial wireless networks, and moving AI onto embedded hardware using virtual sensing and reduced‑order models. My guests, Seth DeLand and Houman Zarrinkoub from MathWorks, and I … Read More → "The Trifecta of 2026: AI Agents, Hybrid Wireless, and the Future of Embedded Engineering"
Things continue to gain traction in “chiplet space” (where no one can hear you scream). In fact, before I forget, Chiplet Summit 2026 takes place in just a couple of weeks as I pen these words. The organizers say this is the place to “see and be seen” if you are in any way dabbling your toes in the chiplet waters (I’m paraphrasing, … Read More → "Chiplets Get Physical: The Days of Mix-and-Match Silicon Draw Nigh"
As usual, things are moving so fast in AI space (where no one can hear you scream) that I no longer know whether I’m coming or going or doing something else entirely. For example, I’d barely managed to wrap my brain around perception AI when generative AI appeared on the scene, and I was only just getting to grips with generative AI when agentic AI popped up … Read More → "Agentic AI Framework for Edge Applications"
This week’s podcast is all about about autonomous systems, advanced machine intelligence and how Palladyne AI is revolutionizing how robots and drones perceive and interact with the world. My guest is Palladyne AI Chief Technology Officer & Co-Founder Dr. Denis Garagić! Denis and I discuss the secrets behind their proprietary technology, what sets them apart from other AI solutions that power and drones, their unique approach to AI … Read More → "Robotic Real-Time Reasoning: How Palladyne AI is Shaping the Future of Autonomous Perception"
Just in case it has escaped your attention, I want to make sure you are aware of the forthcoming FPGA Horizons US East Conference and Exhibition, which will take place April 29-30, 2026. If you want to learn more about this auspicious event, which costs a modest $200 for the entire 2-day extravaganza, then read on…
…but first, as an aside (I thought I’d better get … Read More → "This Is Going to Be the Best FPGA Conference in the USA Ever! (Said Max, Excitedly)"
