This Forum outlines the rapidly growing computational and energy demands of modern artificial intelligence and highlights the emerging role of edge AI as a complementary paradigm to cloud-based systems. It describes how processing data locally can improve privacy, reduce latency, enhance security, and cut energy consumption. The deck introduces an architecture for delivering secured, efficient intelligence at the device level, combining advanced sensing, optimized microcontroller platforms, dedicated neural processing, and integrated software toolchains. It also previews an edge-AI platform and evaluation kit designed to accelerate development in areas such as gesture recognition, voice interfaces, object detection, and multimodal processing, demonstrating how next-generation devices can perform increasingly sophisticated AI workloads with dramatically lower power requirements.
The Rodgers RLE Forum is a time to appreciate and learn from examples of impactful engineering. The laboratory hosts these opportunities for engagement in support of its mission to serve as a cutting-edge hub for advancing and sharing knowledge and best practices in high-performance prototyping.
