The crisis of ocean plastic pollution demands innovative solutions, and Brad's team at Ozone Technologies is answering the call with cutting-edge AI technology. Their collaboration with The Ocean Cleanup has yielded a remarkable system that's transforming how we detect and map marine debris. At the heart of this solution is ADIS (Autonomous Debris Imaging System) – a compact, rugged camera powered by edge AI that mounts to merchant vessels traveling across our oceans. Using sophisticated computer vision models running on NXP i.MX 8M Plus processors, these devices scan the water's surface, distinguishing tiny pieces of floating plastic from wave crests even in challenging marine conditions. What makes this approach revolutionary is its scalability. Rather than requiring dedicated research vessels, ADIS piggybacks on existing shipping routes, creating an expanding network of detection points across global waters. The system operates completely autonomously, requiring minimal power and no continuous internet connection. It stores detection data onboard, uploading it only when ships return to port. The technical challenges overcome by Brad's team are impressive – from waterproofing the hardware to withstand immersion and pressure spray to developing specialized tracking algorithms that can differentiate persistent floating debris from transient wave patterns. Perhaps most remarkable is how they've simplified deployment with fool-proof installation instructions that require no technical expertise from ship crews. This mapping data serves a critical purpose, helping The Ocean Cleanup optimize their System 3 recovery operations in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Their massive 2.2km floating barrier (nicknamed "Josh") funnels debris into collection zones, but knowing where to deploy is essential for efficiency. ADIS provides that critical intelligence. Beyond mapping, we're seeing the completion of a virtuous cycle as recovered plastic finds new life through creative recycling – including limited-edition Coldplay vinyl records made from ocean plastic.

Smart Chips, Big Dreams: How NXP is Changing the AI Game 58:31

۹ weeks پیش58:31

58:31

The artificial intelligence landscape is undergoing a fundamental shift – moving away from simply compressing cloud models to fit edge devices toward developing AI that's truly "born at the edge." Davis Sawyer, AI Product Marketing Manager at NXP Semiconductors, guides us through this transformation and reveals how NXP is revolutionizing the way intelligence is built into our everyday devices. Sawyer begins by redefining what we mean by "the edge" – a vast spectrum ranging from network infrastructure handling millions of connections down to the dozens of microcontrollers in modern home appliances and vehicles. What makes edge AI unique isn't just about size constraints, but the fundamentally different operating environment. While cloud models enjoy virtually unlimited power and standardized computing environments, edge devices face strict limitations in form factor, power consumption, and thermal management. The heart of NXP's approach is their EIQ software stack – a comprehensive toolkit that spans their entire product range from low-power MCUs to high-performance MPUs. Two innovations stand out as particularly revolutionary: Time Series Studio brings AutoML capabilities to sensor data, enabling non-AI experts in manufacturing, energy, and other sectors to build powerful anomaly detection models without deep machine learning expertise. Meanwhile, their approach to generative AI uses "RAG on steroids" (Retrieval Augmented Generation) to create systems that are not only compact enough for edge deployment but also inherently more secure and private. The real-world impact is already evident in applications ranging from precision agriculture robots to healthcare systems that combine multimodal sensing for contact-free patient monitoring. Perhaps most impressive is the rapid pace of innovation – within just months, NXP's edge-optimized language models have seen response times drop from two seconds to less than half a second, making conversational interfaces truly viable on embedded devices. Looking ahead, Sawyer predicts we're moving toward a new era where edge AI becomes increasingly agentic – focusing not just on human-machine interfaces but on optimizing machine-to-machine workflows in factories, robotics, and automation.

When SoftBank's team was approached by Japanese fishermen struggling with declining catches and inefficient practices, they knew technology could offer a solution. Their response: an innovative Edge AI system that transforms traditional aquaculture through sophisticated computer vision running directly on smartphones. Japan's fishing challenges are emblematic of global food security concerns. With the country's self-sufficiency rate at just 38% and fish catches halved from peak levels, the stakes couldn't be higher. Traditional aquaculture has relied heavily on intuition rather than data, making it nearly impossible to optimize feeding (which represents 60-70% of operational costs) or accurately monitor fish populations. The SoftBank and AIZip collaboration tackles these challenges through a remarkable edge computing approach. What makes their solution particularly groundbreaking is how it functions in environments with zero infrastructure—no power supply, no connectivity, and corrosive saltwater everywhere. By developing density-based crowd counting AI models that run efficiently on edge devices, they've created a system that can count hundreds of fish with 96% accuracy in clear water and 86% accuracy in muddy conditions. Perhaps most fascinating is their development process. Unable to collect sufficient real-world training data underwater, the team developed a sophisticated Unity-based simulation that generates realistic fish behavior under various conditions. This simulator provided 65% of their training data, complemented by manual observation from divers who documented actual fish behavior at different depths and feeding stages. The result is an AI system that not only counts fish but can potentially detect hunger levels, health issues, and optimize feeding schedules. This CES 2024 Innovation Award-winning technology demonstrates how Edge AI can transform traditional industries without requiring massive infrastructure investments. By bringing intelligence directly to the point of data collection, even in the most challenging environments, we're witnessing the beginning of a new era in sustainable food production.
