Computer Engineering covers a broad range of applications and overlaps with other fields, including materials science, electrical/electronics, vehicles, physics, and statistics. This book provides insights into a few computer engineering applications in electronics, and in the medical and the automotive fields where advances in robotics, embedded systems, and sensors are creating a bold future. The chapters are written from the perspectives of scientists and engineering consultants who have broad experiences across multiple vendors and manufacturers of computer systems. Their unique perspectives are formed from work on consumer products including research, development, safety, legal compliance, and standards for products.
Chapter 1 – In this chapter, we explore the transformative impact of miniaturization, Artificial Intelligence, and wireless technology on consumer products, which has given rise to a diverse range of wearable electronic devices. We delve into the evolution, current status, and forthcoming trends in this field, emphasizing key features, potential pitfalls, and crucial safety considerations.
Chapter 2 – Robotics is a meeting point for many different disciplines, as robots incorporate mechanical, electrical, computational, and software aspects. This chapter focuses on electrical and computational topics in robotics, describing planning and control algorithms for achieving desired motions, as well as surveying various state-of-the-art on-board computational hardware options available to designers for achieving cutting-edge robotic performance.
Chapter 3 – Image Processing and Computer Vision are playing a transformative role in science and engineering, such as in the domains of material science and industry 4.0. In this chapter, the authors provide examples on computer vision applications that can be developed for Industry 4.0.
Chapter 4 – This chapter describes the applications of integrated circuits in the automotive electronic/electrical components as vehicles evolves toward autonomous, connected, electric and shared mobility. It lays out the stringent standard requirements for the integrated circuits to exhibit high levels of reliability in the unique automotive environment. This chapter further discusses the failure mechanisms related to semiconductor devices and the various failure analysis techniques applicable to investigate the root causes.
Chapter 5 – In this chapter, we focus on important thermal factors that are considered during the conceptual design stage of an electronic system. We present different examples of overheating effects on the detrimental lifetime of electronic devices. We detail the fundamental physics and theoretical models needed for electronic thermal design. Moreover, this chapter covers different thermal materials used for effective heat removal from an electronic chip.
