Artificial Intelligence

Neurala has announced a collaboration with FLIR Systems to deliver a full software and hardware stack AI-based industrial imaging solution. Neurala’s vision AI software unlocks the power of deep learning with no-AI-expertise-required, and now supports the creation of neural networks that can be deployed directly onto FLIR Firefly DLcameras.

AI (Artificial Intelligence) enables the implementation of automation processes using image processing not only better but also easier, faster and more efficient. Data Spree from Berlin shows how production and logistics can benefit from AI in the future. By Manuel Haß, Co-founder of Data Spree, and Chris Montague is Head of Edge Solution Sales EMEA at ADLINK

Vivacity Labs AI traffic signal control is to be trialled at some of the busiest junctions in Cambridge to help cut congestion and improve air quality. The 12-month trial will investigate how camera-based sensors and machine learning can be used to optimise traffic signals to improve traffic flow, reduce journey times and help tackle air pollution.

ADLINK Technology has launched the LEC-IMX8MP SMARC module, the first SMARC rev. 2.1 AI-on-Module (AIoM) that uses NXP's next-generation i.MX 8M Plus SoC for edge AI applications. The LEC-IMX8MP integrates NXP NPU, VPU, ISP and GPU computing in a compact size for future-proof AI-based applications across industrial AIoT/ IoT, smart homes, smart cities and beyond.

A selection of complete AIY project kits and Coral USB accelerators from Google are in stock at distributor Farnell.

Axiomtek has introduced the AIE800-904-FL, its latest robust embedded AI inference system. This system adopts the NVIDIA Jetson Xavier NX platform which has a powerful 6-core NVIDIA Carmel ARM v8.2 (64-bit) processor and 384-core NVIDIA Volta GPU.

Eta Compute has announced its integrated, ECM3532 AI Vision Board, the lowest power embedded vision board that helps developers accelerate time to market. The board makes it possible to deploy vision applications that last for years on a single battery. The development community is invited to see the AI Vision Board in action at Eta Compute’s free webinar with Edge Impulse on March 31st.

The UK government sector is standing on the verge of the unknown. The fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic and political outcomes of Brexit remains to be seen, but change is a certainty. Government departments will need to respond quickly and decisively. But they will have a chance to innovate as this new phase in the nation’s history emerges. By Simon Overton, Enterprise Director at SAS UK & Ireland

Neousys Technology has announced a new Edge AI inference platform, the NRU-110V. Powered by NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier, it supports 8 GMSL automotive cameras and has one 10GBASE-T Ethernet port for massive real time video data transfer.
