Ultra-Low-Power Vehicle Safety and Security Applications Demoed at Imagine 2023
IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Syntiant Corp., a leader in edge AI deployment, and GlobalSense, a developer of sound-based machine learning applications for the automotive industry, today introduced two cloud-free, always-on deep learning solutions for enhancing vehicle safety and security.
Developed utilizing Syntiant’s TinyML Board with embedded NDP101 Neural Decision Processor powered by GlobalSense’s AI models, these ultra-low-power applications use audio event detection (AED) and predictive maintenance to recognize and respond to specific sounds such as tires screeching and glass breaking. Once detected, notifications are instantly sent to predefined recipients via text or email, including the vehicle’s owner, security service providers or authorities as appropriate.
“Syntiant’s processor technology offers an ideal neural platform for GlobalSense to actualize our innovative endpoint AI technology and toolkit, extending to sound sensing and beyond,” said Saeid Safavi, Ph.D., co-founder and CEO at GlobalSense. “This comes with remarkable cost-effectiveness and energy efficiency.”
Built from the ground up to process deep learning algorithms, the Syntiant NDP101 can run audio and sensor applications while consuming less than 140 microwatts of power.
“Our neural decisions processors are ideal for any battery-powered application requiring significant deep learning processing,” said Kurt Busch, CEO of Syntiant. “The combined hardware and software technologies offer highly accurate, always-on event detection, eliminating noise and false detects, whether it is helping safeguard occupants while the car is being driven or detecting instances of break-ins or vandalism when the vehicle is stationary. This is all done cloud free with minimal power consumption and at exceptionally lower cost.”
Registration is free for Imagine 2023. The event will be streaming today from the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.
