Michigan Energy Forum at Ann Arbor SPARK - What's Next With the Internet of Things and Energy Innovation?

The Internet of Things (IoT) is enabling a whole new level of innovation and functionality in just about every sector, including energy. Panelists will discuss how the Internet of Things (IoT) is driving innovation in the energy space and will touch on opportunities for entrepreneurs, technology innovation occurring in Michigan, policy development, and the larger national market that could shape the industry’s growth. The panel will include industry leaders and will cover some of the following key issues:

How is IoT driving innovation in the energy space?
What are the emerging and associated technologies?
What barriers exist to greater adoption?
What opportunities are there for entrepreneurs and start-ups to engage in this market?
What’s the opportunity for Michigan?
What’s Next in this space?

Moderator: Josh Brugeman

Panelists: Michael Forbis, CEO of Arborlight, Glynne Townsend, CEO of Spider9 , Rakesh Katragadda, CEO and CTO of AMF-Nano

Controls of Vehicle Systems Toward Clean, Efficient and Safe Mobility: Junmin Wang

In the ever-lasting efforts of reducing emissions, improving efficiencies, and enhancing safety for ground vehicles, importance of control systems has been growing rapidly due to the substantially elevated system complexities contributed by the fast technological advances in various relevant fields. Accompanied with the quick evolution of vehicle technologies, designs of vehicle estimation and control systems have become much more challenging and critical as well. This talk introduces a variety of vehicle system estimation and control research activities aiming to clean, efficient, and safe ground transportation. Innovative syntheses of estimation and control theories with physical understanding of engine, aftertreatment, and vehicle chassis systems will be emphasized through examples. Along with the system analytical designs, experimental and simulation results will be given to demonstrate the importance and efficacy of the control systems for current and future ground vehicles. Guest Speaker Junmin Wang, Director Vehicle Systems and Control Laboratory, Ohio State University.
