InferSens’ game-changing deep tech sensor technology brings sophisticated deep learning to extremely low-power sensors, opening a raft of new, at-the-edge, data-rich sensor applications, which were previously hard or even impossible to address.Deep learning (DL) is the leading field of artificial intelligence (AI) research, whereby algorithms learn patterns in data without explicitly being programmed to do so. Historically, these types of algorithms for rich sensor data have been processed in the cloud, creating problems of data fidelity, privacy, latency and, above all, energy consumption. Attempts to solve this, by moving DL to the edge, have required the use of local power sources that greatly hinder wide-scale sensor deployment.InferSens’ sensor technology uses state-of-the-art silicon, leading-edge DL models and innovative mechanical- and systems-engineering to break the logjam of power consumption vs performance and bring to market the first of a new generation of smart sensors for the built environment and beyond.
