Eta Compute Releases Tiny Hardware

 Eta Compute announced in March its new integrated vision board that helps developers accelerate time to market for products.

The circuit board is designed to process messages from sensors and comes with its own camera, microphone and gyroscope.Ted Tewksbury, chief executive of the Westlake Village software firm specializing in artificial intelligence, or AI, said that the vision board simplified and speeds up development time while reducing risks and costs for developers creating products.“For the first time, they can rely on an integrated board complemented by Edge Impulse’s machine learning development platform to deploy vision applications that can have the power to transform people’s lives and work,” Tewksbury said in a statement.

Edge Impulse is a San Jose software company working with developers to create the next generation of intelligent devices with embedded machine learning.  Eta Compute was founded almost six years ago and has carved out a space in the machine learning and artificial intelligence sector. Its technology is used in mobile devices and the Internet-of-Things, or IoT, as part of edge computing, or the deployment of data-handling activities at the source of the data capture, such as smartphones, tablets and laptops.The ECM3532 AI vision board’s embedded battery and low-power IoT/Bluetooth Low-Energy connectivity make it ideal for prototyping, field testing and deployment of AI embedded vision applications, the company said.

The AI vision board is the second in a growing family of boards, modules, and systems designed by Eta Compute, it added.

Zach Shelby, chief executive and co-founder of Edge Impulse, said that the Conejo Valley company delivers one of the most integrated platforms for the development of sophisticated modern hardware.

“Together with Edge Impulse, Eta Compute developers can design, test and deploy rapid embedded applications across a multitude of workloads from object detection to classification, and to actual counting, across the human, animals and machine spectrums,” Shelby said in a statement.

Edge Impulse’s contribution to the sensor board is to collect sensor data, train machine learning models on this data in the cloud, and then deploy the model back to the sensor.

“We look forward to helping embedded engineers create better vision algorithms along with frictionless data acquisition using Edge Impulse and Eta Compute, with greater ease and speed,” Shelby added in his statement.
