In this installment of “AI Under the Hood” I introduce “Flippy” by Miso Robotics. Flippy works in fast-food kitchens, operating a frying station for example. The product was decades in the making in terms of research in robotics and machine learning. Flippy is an amalgamation of motors, sensor, chips and processing power that wasn’t possible until just the past few years. The robotic arm is poised to become a regular fixture in high-volume kitchens nationwide in the coming year.

Well functioning traffic flows, real-time parking availability, increased security and swift crime solving, cost-efficient defect detection in the infrastructure or updates on road conditions – smart cities could already be taking advantage of real-time fully automated video surveillance from drones, ground vehicles with video cameras and CCTV, Lithuanian startup PIXEVIA claims.
OpenVX – The Standard for Computer Vision
June 8, 2017 by Leave a Comment
OpenVX is an API enabling software developers to add hardware accelerated computer vision capabilities to their programs. Coupled with the current upswing in the use of deep learning technologies, computer vision applications with OpenVX are becoming very important. OpenVX is an integral part of Intel Computer Vision SDK. This comprehensive toolkit is for developing and deploying vision-oriented solutions on platforms from Intel, including autonomous vehicles, digital surveillance cameras, robotics, and mixed-reality headsets.
