Embedded Computing Design

Computer vision is the AI application you’re most likely to see in most contexts these days. It seems that everyone is trying to develop smart cameras or Edge AI devices that can convert video data into intelligence.

In this PSOC Edge demo, we'll be showing off audio enhancement capability of PSOC Edge. While demonstrating on common kitchen noises, you'll see how the DEEPCRAFT Audio Enhancement solution with PSOC Edge uses the latest AI technoloy to reduce noise in our recording. It's great for making calls, talking to appliances, and answering the doorbell.

CES 2026 will take place from January 6–9, 2026, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Year after year CES welcomes the latest innovations ranging from at home appliances to automotive, robotics, and AI, amongst so much more.

At Infineon, we enable AI. Our PSOC Edge machine learning, Edge AI-enabled MCU solutions make it easy to develop the future of smart glasses, with features like Multi-Modal HMI and contextual awareness on the edge. What will you create?

Rapid advances in agentic AI, generative AI (Gen AI), and AI-powered inferencing are accelerating data-driven industrial applications—and the server platforms they run on. From manufacturing line inspection and defect detection to medical imaging and process documentation, industrial operators are benefitting from unprecedented productivity gains enabled by AI technology.

Edge AI is a key enabler for the IoT, offering significant market opportunity for intelligent devices, both in the industrial and consumer spaces. Before we dive deeper into this, let’s level set and define two terms that often mean different things to different people, namely Edge AI and intelligent devices.

Vecow leverages high-precision RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) GPS technology to deliver centimeter-level positioning accuracy for demanding navigation tasks in urban environments.

To meet the client's specific maintenance requirements, we designed a custom-fit mounting system for the onboard computer to optimize accessibility and reduce downtime during routine maintenance and system upgrades.

The Embedded Computing Design editorial staff is pleased to present this year’s embedded world North America Best-in-Show winners in the following categories:

In this PSOC Edge demo, we will demonstrate how PSOC Edge enables the industry-leading face identification for smart home and industrial applications. With built-in AI acceleration, DEEPCRAFT Face ID solution offers personalization and authentication for smart home applications at ultra-low power.

Okika Devices Inc. will be at Booth 9055 during this year’s embedded world North America. The company will have its experts available to discuss its software design tools, FlexAnalog FPAA product family, and its System-on-a-Chip FPAA product family.

On this episode of Embedded Insiders, Ken is joined by Alif Semiconductor's founder and president, Reza Kazerounian. The two discuss an ensemble of small-footprint, power-efficient solutions capable of running fast AI. In addition to being secure and integrated, the MCUs and fusion processors leverage hardware acceleration for transformer networks.

Next, Ken is back with another episode of ICYMI, featuring the latest news from this week. 

But first, we're highlighting some of the top things to see and do for those attending embedded world North America in Anaheim, California, next week. Embedded Computing Design will be attending as a media partner, and we’re hosting a ton of activities for attendees that you won’t want to miss. 

ACROSSER provides rugged, high-performance embedded computing platforms for AI, industrial automation, in-vehicle, and IoT applications. They design and manufacture customizable hardware that accelerates the development and deployment of intelligent systems in demanding environments.

As you visit embedded world North America, make sure to stop by Booth 9056 where Opal Kelly will be demonstrating its FrontPanel 6, a next generation development platform built on web technologies. Utilizing JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, design teams can create FPGA-connected applications that run directly in the browser.

Designing systems that incorporate Edge intelligence but find themselves in constrained spaces present a series of intertwined challenges that require careful balancing of performance, size, and reliability. One of the most pressing issues a developer must deal with is thermal management and associated power density. This is because high-performance CPUs like the Intel Core 3 and the heavy workloads generated tend to produce significant amounts of heat. And in compact enclosures, there’s typically very little room for airflow.

In this episode of Embedded Insiders, Erik Kling, President & Head of IoT Americas at Vodafone IoT, discusses the connectivity gaps in remote healthcare and how cellular IoT connectivity supports challenges across industrial, supply chain, and healthcare industries. 

The 20822 Bluetooth module is the perfect ready-to-use solution for those looking to streamline Bluetooth development in their products.

In this episode of Embedded Insiders, Rich and Jeff Baldwin, Director of Engineering at Sealevel Systems, discuss the process of designing systems for harsh environments and how Sealevel’s expertise helps customers get started with safe and reliable solutions.

Our next segment is sponsored by Infineon Technologies. Rich Nass is joined by Erik Wood, Infineon’s Senior Director of Microcontroller Cryptography and Product Security, and the two discuss quantum computing and how the experts at Infineon are working to keep systems secure.

Infineon’s 20822 module is the ideal turnkey solution delivering a ton of performance and power efficiency in a cost-effective package that contains everything developers will need to integrate Bluetooth into their products.

In this episode of Embedded Insiders, we’re joined by Product Marketing Manager at Microchip, Pramit Nandy, to discuss the current trends and challenges surrounding energy-efficient motor control. Specifically, the shift between various motor types, control algorithms, and, of course, the importance of SiC and GaN. 

In this episode of Embedded Insiders, Contributing Editor Rich Nass chats with Earle Foster, Senior Vice President of Sales at Sealevel Systems, about how to build embedded systems without starting from scratch. They explore when to rely on fully custom and off-the-shelf components, and where semi-custom solutions are most suitable.

Later, Ken talks with Soracom Co-Founder and CTO Kenta Yasukawa about the company’s latest GenAI developments, with a brief mention of our upcoming AI at the Edge Day.

But first, Ken and I break down the latest news on NVIDIA’s H20 chip and developing export regulations around advanced AI chips.
