As the field of artificial intelligence continues to grow, it’s essential to look beyond the well-known language models like ChatGPT and explore other areas of AI that have the potential to revolutionize industries and change our daily lives.

One such area is Embedded AI, which involves integrating AI directly into hardware devices, from smartphones and cameras to vehicles and appliances. This allows devices to make intelligent decisions and take actions based on real-time data without requiring a constant internet connection or relying on cloud computing.

Digital Twins: Enabling embedded AI in closed-loop environments

Digital twins are virtual replicas of physical devices or systems that are created using real-time data gathered from sensors. This is particularly useful for systems that operate in closed-loop environments, where a constant internet connection is not available or practical.

By training AI models using digital twins, developers can create embedded AI systems that can make intelligent decisions and take actions based on real-time data without needing a constant internet connection.

This technology can potentially revolutionize industries such as manufacturing and healthcare, where real-time decision-making and efficient processes are crucial.

These five sessions at NVIDIA’s GTC focus on embedded AI and digital twins. Check them out to learn more about how AI is transforming industries:

This session will discuss how AI improves urban transportation, focusing on successful cases where Advantech has deployed AI in transportation applications. They’ll explain how their edge AI systems help improve traffic efficiency and reduce risk, such as in traffic management and railway safety. They’ll also show how AI is being used to enable autonomous vehicles to replace routine low-value jobs and ensure humans can avoid working in high-risk environments.

Automating Synthetic Point Generation Sim in the Cloud [S51052]

[Link to register for this session]

This session will showcase how Trimble uses AI to automate synthetic data creation for machine learning research. They’ll demonstrate how they built a system that can generate and label point clouds for their study, which helps them improve the accuracy of their models. They’ll also explain how they use cloud-based tools and extensions to scale their research efficiently. This session is excellent for anyone interested in how AI transforms machine learning research.

For those interested in learning more about the Jetson platform, NVIDIA also offers a playlist of sessions at GTC related to Jetson, covering topics such as Jetson product updates, software development, and AI applications.
