Embedded Computing Design

Digital transformation, particularly in industrial equipment, has the ability to change the landscape of design.

AI means different things to different people. For example, a marketer might have a different definition than an engineer when asked what AI is. In today’s complex world, both may be right. But when consumers need to understand what is AI about their devices, the waters can get muddied pretty quickly. 

Ever since Physical AI became the hype term of the day, it’s rubbed me a bit wrong.

As it’s commonly defined, physical AI describes the intersection of AI with the physical world and the compute process by which AI can sense, control, and act in the real world.

Rich Nass interviews Greg Sheridan and Eric Welsh with Octavo Systems at embedded world 2026.

When the discussion of “AI everywhere” comes up with the folks at onsemi, they know that there’s far more to the design complexity than massive amounts of processing. They help designers deal with the massive amount of power that’s required to drive these systems. Embedded Computing Design’s Rich Nass sat with onsemi’s Felicity Carson to understand how the company is working with designers to maximize power efficiency.

If you listen to the mainstream AI conversation, you might assume that every meaningful deployment requires racks of GPUs, enormous training datasets, and a Cloud energy budget that could power a small city. That perception comes largely from the enterprise AI world. Large language models, enterprise analytics platforms, and recommendation engines dominate the headlines.
