Accelerating AI at the Edge

What do robotic beehives, FPGAs, and AI at the edge have in common? This week’s episode of Fish Fry of course! First up, we chat with Sammy Cheung CEO of Efinix. Sammy and I explore the challenges of launching a new FPGA company today and why artificial intelligence applications at the edge are perfect for their Trion™ FPGA silicon platform. Also this week, we take a closer look at BeePi - a kickstarter launched by Utah computer science professor Vladimir Kulyukin. We investigate how this unique project is hoping to resolve the issues surrounding honeybee colony collapse with a little help from artificial intelligence and an open source electronic beehive monitoring platform.
