Currently, GPUs are the most popular platforms for realizing deep neural networks (DNNs). However, due to their high power consumption, they are usually not suitable for edge computing, with the exception of systems like NVIDIA Jetson. Various AI hardware has been developed, many tailored specifically for edge applications. Multiple articles have broadly classified AI hardware, providing a comprehensive overview of current trends in AI accelerators. This article offers an extensive introduction to edge AI processors and Processing-in-Memory (PIM) processors within the industry. This includes processors already released, announced processors, and those disclosed in research institutes such as ISSCC and VLSI…

When you see two robotic arms seamlessly working together to fold clothes, pour tea, and pack shoes, coupled with the recent top-trending 1X humanoid robot NEO, you might get the feeling that we’re finally entering the robot age. These smooth actions are the result of cutting-edge robotic technology combined with sophisticated framework design and multimodal large models. We recognize that useful robots often need to interact intricately with their environments, which can be represented by constraints in both spatial and temporal domains. For example, to have a robot pour tea, the robot first needs to grasp the teapot handle and…

In an age where technology increasingly blends with everyday life, EcoFlow, renowned for its portable power stations, has taken a bold step into the fashion world. Debuting at IFA 2024, the company introduced the Power Hat, an innovative sun hat equipped with solar panels designed to charge your devices on the go. This quirky, yet practical gadget promises to turn heads, if not mainly for its unique utility. At first glance, the Power Hat appears to be an ordinary wide-brimmed sun hat, ideal for hikers and beach-goers. However, a closer look reveals a flexible solar panel ingeniously integrated into the…

A team of researchers in the United States has unveiled a groundbreaking wearable device designed for continuous heart monitoring, potentially revolutionizing the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AFib). This innovation, hailed for its potential to identify significantly more cases of AFib—a condition closely linked to stroke and heart failure—than conventional care methods, was developed by experts at the Duke Clinical Research Institute, North Carolina. Renato Lopes, Professor of Medicine at the Duke Clinical Research Institute and the study’s lead author, emphasized the often undetected nature of atrial fibrillation and its serious health implications. “Atrial fibrillation is frequently undiagnosed and can elevate…

The recent surge in women’s sports over the past few years has been nothing short of revolutionary. From the Lionesses’ thrilling clash at the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia to their historic Euro 2022 victory, women’s sports are witnessing unprecedented attention. The Solheim Cup’s record-breaking viewership on PAY-TV in 2023 and the awe-inspiring triumphs of athletes like Keely Hodgkinson, Bryony Page, Kadeena Cox, and Dame Sarah Storey at the Olympics and Paralympics emphasize this shifting landscape. As England’s Red Roses Rugby team gears up for a major tournament next year, momentum is on their side. Amplifying this excitement, a…

In a groundbreaking endeavor, a novel framework called the Longitudinal Hemodynamic Mapping Framework (LHMF) has been established, aiming to revolutionize cardiovascular health monitoring through wearable technology. This comprehensive framework captures three-dimensional longitudinal hemodynamic behavior and uses this data to develop coronary digital twins. This significant technology advancement integrates various biomedical data streams to create a detailed representation of an individual’s cardiac health over time. The framework begins by acquiring continuous heart rate signals from wearable devices. This data is crucial as it personalizes the inlet coronary velocity waveforms, adjusting them in real-time based on the patient’s continuously changing physiological states.…

Artificial Intelligence is no longer just a buzzword thrown around in tech circles; it’s becoming an integral part of our daily lives. From virtual assistants adept at handling complex queries to generative AI that democratizes image and text creation, the impact of AI on efficiency and productivity is undeniable. Yet, for AI to truly benefit society, it must be accessible to everyone, not just the elite. At IFA 2024, TECNO has taken a significant step toward this goal by revealing a comprehensive vision for AI and AIoT products designed to bridge the digital divide. TECNO’s Vision: Practical, Accessible AI For…

In a recent breakthrough, wearable technology has shown significant potential in monitoring heart conditions such as atrial fibrillation, particularly among older Indigenous Australians living in remote areas. This heart condition, characterized by an irregular and often rapid heartbeat, is perilous if left untreated, increasing the risk of stroke and heart failure. However, its diagnosis can be particularly challenging due to the absence of noticeable symptoms in many individuals. A study recently published highlights how wearable devices, like smartwatches, are increasingly integral in identifying and managing atrial fibrillation. This research is groundbreaking as it is the first of its kind to…

The Apple Watch has transcended its origins as a mere smartwatch to become a formidable health-monitoring device. With each new version, Apple pushes the envelope of what wearable technology can achieve in terms of health surveillance. The latest buzz surrounding the anticipated Apple Watch Series 10 centers on a groundbreaking feature: sleep apnea detection. This development could dramatically alter the lives of millions who suffer from this often underdiagnosed condition. Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder characterized by interruptions in breathing or shallow breaths during sleep. These disruptions can lead to significant health issues, including high blood pressure, heart…
