‌ Provided by Atmel Atmel’s Tech on Tour Mobile Training Center, filled with the company’s next generation embedded systems technology, will be on the RIT campus on Oct. 9.

The Internet of Things is coming to Rochester, traveling in a mobile training center.

Rochester will be one of the Upstate New York stops on the Atmel “Tech on Tour” event, slated for Thursday, Oct. 9, at Rochester Institute of Technology.

A 40-foot by 85-foot tractor-trailer, set up with current embedded systems technology from Atmel for wireless systems, wearable devices, 3D printers and touch-screen sensors, will be located in H Lot on the RIT campus from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Atmel staff will be leading demonstrations and hands-on training classes in use of its systems throughout the day.

Demonstrations will include how embedded systems are being used in automotive and transportation applications, robotics, electronic devices and gaming systems, and alternative energy—and integrated together as part of the growing Internet of Things.

The event is free and open to engineering, science and technology faculty and students at RIT as well as regional engineering professionals. University participants may register online for a special afternoon program; community representatives participating in a morning training also can register separately at the company’s website.

The event is sponsored by RIT’s Kate Gleason College of Engineering and its computer engineering department. Atmel develops and produces microcontrollers, mixed signal, nonvolatile memory and radio frequency components for consumer, industrial and government systems.
