Khoshniyati: Wiliot IoT Pixels Harvest Ambient Waves to Transmit Telemetry Data
“We have proprietary IP around IOT pixels. So these are, ah, reference designs that all RFID manufacturers could produce. These tags go on physical items. They're battery free, so they harvest energy off of ambient waves. So we have a capacitor that acts like a…”

How they sound: not measured why? →

We measure speaking style by listening to the audio itself, and a fair number needs at least 2,000 words from one person on tape we have measured. There is too little of Amir Khoshniyati on measured tape to publish a rate. This says nothing about how they speak.

Khoshniyati: Physical AI eliminates finger-pointing between food processors and receivers
“It creates a frictionless handshake between food processors and the folks that are receiving the items. So there's no finger pointing. You can actually go to the source of the truth where something went wrong and then fix the compliance between those two parti…”

Khoshniyati: AI Models Are Useless Without Ground-Truth Physical Tracking Data
“If you don't have a reliable data source, And the assets slash products that you're tagging, they're not providing the right data triggers behind it and the right insights into those assets and products when they're through the supply chain. None of this matte…”

Khoshniyati: Physical AI Value Lies in Condition Telemetry, Not Just Location
“And it's beyond just knowing the location and the traceability of that item, but the condition that it's in. And that's where physical AI starts to pick up value beyond what historically was in place. So with condition, you know the temperature of that item. Y…”
