Future Electronics Artificial Intelligence Solutions

While developers may choose to perform AI inferencing in the cloud, where hardware resources are less constrained, there are often good reasons for embedded systems to perform inferencing locally at the network edge, including:

  • Lower latency
  • Simpler hardware with less maintenance
  • Immunity to poor network connections
  • No costs associated with network data transfer
  • Security against malware and other network-borne attacks

Local inferencing may be performed on a range of devices which embedded developers are already familiar, including microcontrollers, microprocessors/SOMs/SBCs and FPGAs. Through analysis of time-series sensor data and utilization of neural network models, they enable a broad set of applications such as the detection or identification of objects, gestures, keyword phrases, and industrial system anomalies.
