July 25, 2011 — STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) supplier, opened 2 2011 iNEMO Campus Design Contests, in China and Taiwan. The contest encourages students to design innovative products based on STM’s iNEMO MEMS platform. In the US, a quadcopter designed by "Team McGill," students at McGill University, won the iNEMO Design Contest earlier this month.
iNEMO is a smart multi-sensor technology, an evaluation and development tool that offers 9-axis MEMS sensing of linear, angular, and magnetic motion, along with pressure and temperature sensing, managed by the STM32 32-bit microcontroller. Application areas include gaming, human/machine interface, robotics, portable navigation devices, patient monitoring, etc.
The iNEMO Campus Design Contest will run in China until November, 22 2011 and offers total prizes in excess of RMB60,000 to the ten most successful iNEMO design concepts, evaluated on their functionality and practicality, implementation, creativity, presentation and final demonstration. The winners will be announced at the end of November, 2011. Further information and registration at http://2011inemo.eefocus.com
The contest in Taiwan, also starting today, is co-sponsored by Taiwan’s Association of Nanotechnology and Micro System. The Taiwan contest runs until mid-December 2011 and offers total prizes in excess of NT$200,000 to the ten most successful iNEMO design concepts, evaluated on their functionality and practicality, implementation, creativity, presentation and final demonstration. The winners will be announced at ST’s Sensor Symposium in Taipei on December 15, 2011. Further information and registration at http://www.st-inemo.com.tw
