Cartesiam,
Edge Impulse and Motion Gestures integrate their machine-learning (ML)
offerings into Microchip’s MPLAB® X Development Environment
Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) today announced
it has partnered with Cartesiam, Edge Impulse and Motion Gestures to simplify
ML implementation at the edge using the company’s ARM Cortex based 32-bit
micro-controllers and microprocessors in its MPLAB X Integrated
Development Environment (IDE). Bringing the interface to these partners’
software and solutions into its design environment uniquely positions Microchip
to support customers through all phases of their AI/ML projects including
data gathering, training the models and inference implementation.
About the Partner
Offerings
Cartesiam, founded in 2016, is a software
publisher specializing in artificial intelligence development tools for
microcontrollers. NanoEdge AI™ Studio, Cartesiam’s patented development
environment, allows embedded developers, without any prior knowledge of AI, to
rapidly develop specialized machine learning libraries for
microcontrollers. Devices leveraging Cartesiam's technology are
already in production at hundreds of sites throughout the World
Edge Impulse is the end-to-end developer platform for embedded machine
learning, enabling enterprises in industrial, enterprise and wearable
markets. The platform is free for developers, providing dataset
collection, DSP and ML algorithms, testing and highly efficient inference code
generation across a wide range of sensor, audio and vision applications. Get
started in just minutes thanks to integrated Microchip MPLAB X and evaluation
kit support.
Motion Gestures, founded in 2017, provides powerful embedded AI-based
gesture recognition software for different sensors, including touch, motion
(i.e. IMU) and vision. Unlike conventional solutions, the company’s platform
does not require any training data collection or programming and uses advanced
machine learning algorithms. As a result, gesture software development time and
costs are reduced by 10x while gesture recognition accuracy is increased to
nearly 100 percent.
The MPLAB X IDE ML implementations will be featured during the Embedded Vision Summit 2020 virtual conference,
September 15-17. Attendees can see video demonstrations at the company’s
virtual exhibit, which will be staffed each day from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. PDT.
