NUREMBERG /PRNewswire/ — 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 the IoT, to revolutionize the edge computing landscape. The announcement was made at the Embedded World Conference 2024 in Nuremberg, where both industry leaders presented their new technology.
By joining forces, embedUR and Synaptics want to show the world the full potential of artificial intelligence (AI) on low-power microcontroller edge processors equipped with neural processing units to accelerate AI. This strategic partnership between both companies is an important step towards equipping edge devices with advanced AI capabilities to meet the growing demand for intelligent solutions for various real-world applications.
The integration of the “YOLO (You Only Look Once)” image segmentation model into a Synaptics Astra device was successfully completed jointly by embedUR’s software specialists and Synaptics’ engineers. embedUR’s experts optimized the data flows and used tailor-made neural network layers, thereby exceeding the performance limits that previously applied to AI on small devices.
Commenting on this achievement, John Marconi , Vice President of Engineering, embedUR systems , said: “This collective achievement from our teams underscores our shared commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation at the edge. In close collaboration with Synaptics, we were able to achieve a pioneering achievement in the area of edge computing. As a partner, we look forward to unlocking many such opportunities in edge devices together by leveraging the synergies between the embedUR and Synaptics teams.”
“We are pleased to work with embedUR and drive innovation together. Our partnership is a case study of applying Synaptics Astra TM AI-native IoT platform to quickly and effectively demonstrate inferencing on low-power edge devices using the Synaptics AI Toolkit,” said John Weil , vice president of IoT processor business, Synaptics . “We look forward to working with embedUR and empowering the experts on both of our teams to develop intelligent solutions that deliver unparalleled efficiency and performance across a wide range of AI-powered applications.”
This successful development marks a significant milestone in the AI revolution that will fundamentally change the way edge devices perceive and interact with the world. This will lead to a wide range of applications in many industries, e.g. B. in agriculture, automotive, healthcare, retail, industrial automation, infrastructure and information technology.
The partnership between embedUR and Synaptics represents a shared vision of the future to develop truly intelligent edge devices that can adapt with precision to dynamic environments and make efficient decisions in real-time. Both companies are committed to continuing to push the boundaries for transformative innovation in edge AI.
