embedUR systems Inc., a leader in embedded systems and semiconductor firm Synaptics, are collaborating to demonstrate the possibilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on tiny devices using low-power edge processors with integrated AI acceleration. Their first collaboration showcases Object Recognition with breakthrough performance on a battery-powered device, using the YOLO AI Image Segmentation model on Synaptics’ Edge AI-native Astra platform.
embedUR systems Inc., an innovation leader in the embedded systems industry has partnered with Synaptics, a California-based provider of Edge AI compute solutions for IoT, to revolutionize the edge computing landscape. The announcement was made at the Embedded World Conference 2024, held at Nuremberg, Germany, where both industry leaders showcased their new technology.
Through combining forces, both embedUR and Synaptics aim to showcase to the world the full potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on low-power microcontroller edge processors that are integrated with neural processing units for AI acceleration. This strategic alliance between both companies marks a significant step towards empowering edge devices with advanced AI capabilities, aimed at catering to the growing demand for intelligent solutions for diverse real-world applications.
The integration of the YOLO (You Only Look Once) image segmentation AI model onto a Synaptics Astra device, was successfully completed jointly by embedUR’s software specialists and Synaptics’ engineers. embedUR experts optimized the data flows and used customized neural network layers, surpassing performance barriers previously experienced for AI running on tiny devices.
Commenting on the achievement, John Marconi, VP Technology, embedUR systems, said “This collective achievement by our teams emphasizes our shared commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation at the edge. Working closely with Synaptics, we were able to achieve a pioneering feat in edge computing. As partners, we look forward to unlocking many such possibilities together in edge devices, by harnessing the synergies between embedUR and Synaptics teams.”
“We are excited to collaborate with embedUR and drive innovation together. Our partnership is a case study on how to apply Synaptics AstraTM AI-native IoT platform to demonstrate inferencing quickly and effectively on low-power Edge devices, using the Synaptics AI Toolkit,” said John Weil, VP IoT Processor Business, Synaptics. “We look forward to working with embedUR, empowering experts in both our teams to create intelligent solutions that deliver unparalleled efficiency and performance on a wide range of AI-infused applications.”
This successful development marks a significant milestone in the edge AI revolution, bringing transformative changes in how edge devices perceive and interact with the world. This will lead to a multitude of applications in many industries such as agriculture, automotive, healthcare, retail, industrial automation, infrastructure, and information technology.
