CNN hardware accelerator brings improved performance
Deep learning and Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) in particular, are currently one of the most intensively and widely used predictive models in the field of machine learning. DNNs are not a new concept, but after the recent initial breakthrough applications of DNNs in the fields of speech recognition and image recognition, they have returned to the focus of both academic and industrial communities.
Investment supports intelligence research, student fellowships
A multi-year partnership focused on advancing the science and engineering of intelligence while supporting the next generation of researchers in this emerging field, has been announced by Fujitsu Laboratories and MIT's Center for Brains, Minds and Machines (CBMM). The new commitment follows on several years of collaborative research among scientists at the two organisations.
Evaluation platform speeds up development for ADAS applications
Designed to speed up development efforts and reduce time to market for ADAS applications, the TDA2Px EVM is a new evaluation platform from Texas Instruments. The TDA2Px EVM is based on a TDA2Px System-on-Chip (SoC) that incorporates a heterogeneous, scalable architecture.
Bringing AI into embedded systems with intelligent endpoints
Renesas Electronics is expanding its range of embedded artificial intelligence (e-AI) solutions for incorporating AI into embedded systems by bringing intelligence to endpoints. Approximately 150 companies in more than ten countries worldwide are already conducting trials based on this technology, and there are more than 30 actual e-AI use cases underway. Renesas has now developed a new RZ/A2M MPU to expand the use of e-AI solution...
One step ahead: Adaptive radar systems for ADAS
Constantly changing environments represent an enormous challenge for modern driver assistance systems. To meet these challenges, software controlled automotive radars offer entirely new opportunities. They are compact, low cost, and also extremely versatile and highly reconfigurable.
Automotive-grade IP in seven nanometre process for ADAS designs
The delivery of automotive-grade DesignWare Controller and PHY IP for TSMC's seven nanometer (nm) FinFET process has been announced by Synopsys. The DesignWare LPDDR4x, MIPI CSI-2 and D-PHY, PCI Express 4.0, and security IP implement advanced automotive design rules for TSMC seven nanometre process to meet the stringent reliability and operation requirements of ADAS and autonomous driving system-on-chips (SoCs).
Employees embrace growth of AI in the workplace
The modern workplace has already embraced advanced technology with smart devices, paperless workplaces, cloud services and wearable tech that tracks employee productivity, in fact, much of this tech is already old news when it comes to the average workday. Research by Instant Offices shows workers believe tech integration improves working conditions, efficiency and communication.
Autonomous vehicle communications record set using 5G
Researchers in WMG at the University of Warwick have set a new 5G communications speed record to a 'Level 4' low speed autonomous vehicle in the pioneer 28GHz millimetre wave band. They hit 2.867GBs per second in over-the-air transmissions, which is nearly 40 times faster than current fixed line broadband speeds. It is equivalent to sending a detailed satellite navigation map of the United Kingdom within a single second, or the full contents of a...
HANNOVER MESSE 2019: Industry 4.0 meets AI
HANNOVER MESSE is driving forward the digital transformation of the production and energy industries. Every year marks the next step into the future. For 2019, the guiding theme is 'Integrated Industry – Industrial Intelligence,' which spotlights digital networking between humans and machines in the age of artificial intelligence.
Deep learning facial recognition fights human trafficking
The subject of human trafficking is a gloomy topic to discuss as it is a dire problem that the world continues to face. This rampant global issue displaces children and teenagers. Trafficking is a horrifying matter that frequently transcends gender, race, socio-economic environments and social status. It can happen at any time and anywhere, devastating families and communities.
