Cheryl Martin, director of Higher Education and Research at NVIDIA says, “Georgia Tech’s AI Makerspace will provide students with access to NVIDIA’s accelerated computing platform, equipping them with the technology to push the boundaries of AI learning and research.”

The story of the second day at NVIDIA GTC in San Jose is Embedded AI for Edge, at least that was the story I was hearing again and again from the folks that I talked to on the show floor.

The SAP Arena was absolutely madcap and packed in the leadup to the opening keynote from Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, at NVIDIA GTC 2024.

Las Vegas, Nevada. Cipia will demonstrate its flexible Cabin Sense at CES 2024 supplying driver and occupancy monitoring with a production time slated for 2024. The software collaborates with the NVIDIA DRIVE Orin system-on-a-chip (SoC) delivering in-cabin sensing capabilities, safety, and convenience for automotive applications. Cabin Sense was developed to integrate on individual ECUs, ADAS, and IVI domain controllers.

Depending on who you’re conversing with, the “Edge” of the IoT may have different meanings. For the sake of this article, we are going to define it as that last computer that sits between the sensors (where the data is collected) and the Cloud. It’s very close to where the data is obtained and where the action must occur.

San Jose, California. AVerMedia released its fanless AI Box PC D315AOP powered by the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin. The box PC is ideal for real-time video feeds for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), smart security, and intelligent inspection. It is delivered with a 120-pin high-speed connector for MIPI SerDes cameras and a 10GigE Vision camera connector.

St. Julians, Malta. SmartCow released its self-contained rugged edge AI camera, Sphinx, with Gigabit Ethernet 5G connectivity and NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX and Xavier NX system-on-modules. The Sphinx comes with dual image sensors with built-in IR illumination and low-light performance. Modular connectivity enables the easy integration of peripheral sensors such as air-quality sensors, LiDAR, and radar.
