AI and machine learning easily accessible on wireless IoT chips for first time
Nordic Semiconductor has entered into a partnership with Edge Impulse, a leading provider of what’s termed ‘tiny machine learning’ or ‘TinyML’ tools intended to run on resource-constrained semiconductor devices. All of Nordic s nRF52 and nRF53 Series BLE chips will now be able to profit from easy-to-use AI and machine learning features as standard. This is claimed to be a first for the Bluetooth semiconductor industry.
“What AI and machine learning on resource-constrained chips does – which Nordic will now collectively refer to as TinyML – is take the application potential of wireless IoT technologies such as Bluetooth to a whole new level in terms of environmental awareness and autonomous decision making,” comments Kjetil Holstad, Nordic’s director of product management.
