HSINCHU, Taiwan, Dec. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), Taiwan's largest and one of the world's leading high-tech applied research institutions, invites you to its event site (https://event.itri.org/CES2021) for CES 2021 to view its innovations in artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and e-health.

Its highlight technologies include the Dual Arm Robot System (DARS); the Self-Learning Battery Management System (SL-BMS); the iCardioGuard wearable physiological and psychological monitoring system; the Handheld Skin Quality Optical Coherence Tomography device for skin quality analysis; and the Sleep Learning Technology (SLT) for learning and memory improvement during sleep.

WHAT:

    --  ITRI's AI and robotics technologies at CES 2021 include:
        --  The Dual Arm Robot System (DARS) is a human-like robot developed for
            multiple applications. With its two slim robotic arms and
            anthropomorphic hands, DARS can perform various tasks without using
            specifically designed tools. Advanced sensor technologies and
            machine learning algorithms enable its versatility.
        --  The Self-Learning Battery Management System (SL-BMS) accurately
            estimates battery status in real time, including the remaining
            capacity, aging capacity, power-limited capacity and maximum power.
            For electrical vehicle applications, SL-BMS monitors energy
            consumption and transfers battery information into mileage
            information to eliminate range anxiety.
        --  The UVC LED Water Sterilizer System HydroNovation provides immediate
            water sterilization by killing 99.9 percent of bacteria. It uses UV
            LED as its light source and reduces the module volume by one-third
            compared to a mercury lamp sterilizer. The system is ideal for
            emergency humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, and areas with
            poor sanitation.
    --  ITRI's e-health wearable technologies at CES 2021 include:
        --  iCardioGuard is a wearable device for long-term real-time monitoring
            of physiological and psychological status for home and elder care.
            The device incorporates multi-sensing microwave and ECG technology
            and a cardio/psycho status analysis method for continuous
            cardiovascular monitoring and emotion/pressure/fatigue analysis.
        --  The Heart Guardian is a non-invasive wearable device that monitors
            cardiac output, heart rate and stroke volume. With a miniature,
            high-sensitivity patch-type transducer, a low-power Doppler
            ultrasound signal processing chipset, and a mobile computing device,
            the Heart Guardian offers continuous real-time monitoring of
            patients with heart disease or a sleep disorder.
        --  iSmartweaR measures physiological conditions including heart rate
            and respiratory rate using fabric antenna sensing and non-contact
            nanosecond pulse near-field sensing (NPNS) technology. The system
            detects signals from up to 20 centimeters, different from existing
            smart clothing technologies requiring contact with the wearer's
            skin. It has been verified for hospital night care with high
            accuracy. Medical workers can access the real-time information with
            a mobile app.
        --  iDarlingWeaR is a wearable innovation for infant healthcare
            featuring ITRI's harmless low-power radar sensing technology.
            Caregivers need only attach the device to the baby's blanket for
            continuous heartbeat and respiratory monitoring. iDarlingWeaR also
            detects whether the baby is asleep or awake and sends alerts if it
            detects abnormality.
    --  ITRI's e-health monitoring and inspection technologies at CES 2021
        include:
        --  The Handheld Skin Quality Optical Coherence Tomography analyzes skin
            quality by rapid high-resolution 3D imaging of skin structure. The
            device combines an opto-mechanical-electronics controller and an
            image processor to provide 3D optical biopsy using a broadband
            near-infrared light source.
        --  Sleep Learning Technology (SLT) enhances memory and learning during
            sleep. It features a contactless solution for sleep phase detection
            and automatically adjusts light intensity for better sleep. In deep
            sleep, the device plays audio learning material to boost memory
            recall and consolidation and improve learning. Its technologies
            include recurrent neural network (RNN)-based Wi-Fi channel state
            information (CSI) sleep phase detection and comfortable sleep light
            technologies.
        --  The Handheld Ultrasound System performs ultrasound exams anywhere,
            anytime, and saves critical time in emergency and intensive care.
            The 64-channel system supports changeable transducers and can
            process B-mode and color Doppler mode images. In the future, deep
            learning technology can be integrated to perform quantitative
            analysis for diagnosis of liver diseases.
        --  The Measurement Technique for Lumbar Spine X-Ray Images uses deep
            learning modules and image processing algorithms to reduce time and
            labor for X-ray interpretation. It also provides X-ray imaging
            simulation and assists with surgical planning, clinical and
            auxiliary analysis.
        --  The AI Decision Support Technology of Fundus Image in Diabetes
            Mellitus is the world's first AI detection technology to locate,
            provide classification models and determine the severity of diabetic
            retinopathy (DR) lesions. It also uses AI to detect DR symptoms,
            provide decision support for ophthalmologist referrals, and optimal
            treatment timing for Clinical Significant Macular Edema (CSME).
