Intelligent Edge in Computer Engineering

Until recently, artificial intelligence tools required significant energy consumption and expensive complex equipment such as remote servers or clouds. Now, with the appearance of Intelligent Edge microcontrollers, such as the MAX7800x family and etc., which contain a special convolution neural network accelerators, computer devices and means for various purposes can solve artificial intelligence tasks, while working for a long time from an autonomous power supply. All this makes artificial intelligence tools available and expands the possibilities for creating new efficient applications that were previously built on powerful computers and were limited in widespread use. The advantages of such devices and means are considered in this article.
