We are also working with strategic partners to bring innovative solutions to the industrial, automotive and surveillance markets," he said in a statement."Edge AI applications in consumer markets like high-end smartphones, wearables as well as enterprise markets like robots, cameras and sensors will be pervasive in the next few years, said Sateesh Andra, Managing Director with Endiya Partners."AlphaICs RAP accelerates inferencing as well as learning tasks on-device, rather than in a remote data centre delivering benefits like low latency, cost, data privacy, and security.
