Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly moving out of the datacenter and into the real world, powering everything from industrial robots to autonomous vehicles and smart infrastructure. Edge devices have become the new frontier for AI, driving smarter factories, safer vehicles, and more responsive cities. Meeting the needs of edge applications involves using AI that is efficient, adaptable, and scalable, since these scenarios often involve unique technical constraints and possibilities. As AI ...
Interest in edge computing has surged as organizations across industries seek smarter ways to automate processes, enhance productivity, and optimize labor. By processing data closer to its source, edge systems can provide benefits like reduced transmission and storage costs and strengthened security. They can also enable the development of advanced machines and devices, from autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and humanoids to smart medical devices, which can operate with precision and speed. Thes...
Across industries and use cases, computing capacity is shifting away from centralized servers and towards the edge. Whether in the form of autonomous vehicles, smart sensors, or other technological solutions, today's intelligent applications demand faster decision-making and increased autonomy. This shift is especially prevalent in the Industrial, defense, and aerospace industries. The unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and drones used in defense applications rely heavily on edge intelligence to...
Planning and execution are two very different beasts. A project may appear straightforward on paper, staying within budget, on schedule, and technically sound, only to hit roadblocks in the real world. However, turning ideas into reality isn’t always smooth, and success depends on how well we anticipate and navigate the unknowns. This gap between concept and execution is especially pronounced in the fast-growing realm of edge artificial intelligence (AI). In a recent roundtable discussion...
Everyone, it seems, is now talking about how they’re planning to integrate AI into their devices, their factories, their workflows and, well, everything. But how they actually plan to make that happen isn’t always clear. Part of the challenge, of course, is that different workloads and different environments require different types of solutions. For those looking to integrate AI-powered capabilities into edge computing-based offerings, there are a relatively broad range of ways to ac...
Human-machine interfaces (HMIs) are rapidly evolving, driven by trends such as Automotive personalization, sustainable always-on interfaces, hygienic touchless user interfaces (UI), consistent user experience (UX) across platforms, voice activation, and Industrial automation for labor and safety needs. Regardless of their specific drivers and/or use cases, modern HMIs must be smarter and more dynamic – shifting from command-based to context-aware systems that bridge the human-machine...
Robots have rapidly evolved from science fiction into a cornerstone of modern industry. Today’s autonomous systems can execute complex tasks with minimal human oversight – transforming how we work, live, and move. But achieving this level of intelligence and reliability in real-world environments requires more than just advanced software. It demands robust hardware, deterministic processing, and scalable system architectures that can support safe, real-time decision-making under dema...
