Edge AI is Getting Smarter: NTT's Chip Powers 4K Video in Drones and Cars | HackerNoon
Briefly

NTT has introduced the world's first low-power AI inference chip designed for real-time 4K video processing, addressing the limitations of current autonomous vehicles and surveillance drones that rely on power-hungry GPUs. With the chip operating under 20 watts, it facilitates advanced object detection without cloud dependencies, enhancing operational efficiency and independence. This innovation promises significant improvements in real-time decision-making for drones and self-driving cars, supporting advancements in navigation and safety.
With our new AI inference chip, we're enabling autonomous systems to see farther, react faster, and operate independently. This is a critical step toward safer, more sustainable deployments of AI in the real world.
By running advanced object detection AI models like YOLOv3 directly on-device, the chip eliminates the need for video compression or cloud-based processing.
