All 20 of the sponsored Challengers for the Sixth Sense Design Challenge will receive for FREE the kit detailed in the table below.
Our judges will choose 20 applicants to become sponsored challengers, and they will receive the kit free of charge.
If you are not a sponsored challenger, you can still compete as a non-sponsored or independent challenger. See note below.*
From STMicroelectronics:

STM32 Nucleo-64STM32 Nucleo-64
From TE Connectivity:
KMT32BKMT32B or KMT36H
FX19FX19
PTF Series RTD Sensor
Once the sponsored Challengers receive their kit, they will then embark on their journey of designing an exciting and original project that uses the STMicroelectronics Sensor Tile and TE Connectivity Component PackSTMicroelectronics Sensor Tile and TE Connectivity Component Pack to give a Sixth Sense to a small remotely operated or autonomous vehicle, such as a drone, robot, or tunnel exploration device.
*NOTE: Even if you aren't a sponsored challenger, you can still participate in the Design Challenge as long as you integrate the STMicroelectronics Sensor Tile and TE Connectivity Component Pack into your design.
The deadline for project application submissions is 19th November 2018.
 SensorTile Development Kit STEVAL-STLKT01V1STEVAL-STLKT01V1 The STEVAL-STLKT01V1STEVAL-STLKT01V1 is a comprehensive development kit designed to support and expand the capabilities of the SensorTile It is complemented with software firmware libraries and tools including a dedicated mobile app The SensorTile is a tiny square-shaped IoT module with powerful processing capabilities to leverage a high-performance Arm Cortex-M4 32-bit RISC core 80 MHz STM32L476JGY microcontroller It has on-board Bluetooth low energy connectivity based on BlueNRG-MS network processor as well as a wide spectrum of motion and environmental MEMS sensors including a digital microphone

 KMT32B or KMT36H Magnetic Angle Sensor The KMT32B is a magnetic field sensor based on the anisotropic magneto resistance effect, i.e. it senses the magnetic field direction independently of the magnetic field strength for applied field strengths H>25 kA/m. The sensor contains two parallel supplied Wheatstone bridges, which enclose a sensitive angle of 45 degrees.

PTF Series RTD Sensor The PTF-sensor family combines a group of resistance temperature detectors (RTD) using a Platinum resistor in thin film technology as sensing element. The usage of platinum as resistive material guarantees high long term stability. Due to a small outline and low mass this RTD has a low time constant; therefore, it is a suitable solution for fast and precise feedback control systems.
