Not all free operating systems are feature-full POSIX systems. FreeRTOS is a minimal operating system which is designed to run on microcontrollers, and provide real-time scheduling. It is used in industrial automation and automotive.

A brief introduction to FreeRTOS, depending on audience preference, will be followed by either a hands-on workshop using PCs, or a demonstration on a board. The workshop includes how to get started, what can be done with it, and what type of features and pitfalls to expect from FreeRTOS.

This presentation is about a general information on sensors, how to "fuse" data from multiple sensors for more accurate information, how Android handles the available sensors, and also a practical tutorial on how to introduce new sensors to Android so they can be seamlessly accessed by applications.

As sensor chips get cheaper and mobile devices get more powerful, every smartphone and tablet includes multiple sensors to gather data from the physical environment. These include but are not limited to acceleration, magnetic filed, humidity, air pressure, and rotation.
