Making fire detection more accurate with ML sensor fusion
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe mere presence of a flame in a controlled environment, such as a candle, is perfectly acceptable, but when tasked with determining if there is cause for alarm solely using vision data, embedded AI models can struggle with false positives. Solomon Githu’s project aims to lower the rate of incorrect detections with a multi-input…

Teaching about AI explainability
Reading Time: 6 minutesIn the rapidly evolving digital landscape, students are increasingly interacting with AI-powered applications when listening to music, writing assignments, and shopping online. As educators, it’s our responsibility to equip them with the skills to critically evaluate these technologies. A key aspect of this is understanding ‘explainability’ in AI and machine learning (ML)…

Classifying audio on the GIGA R1 WiFi from purely synthetic data
Reading Time: 2 minutesOne of the main difficulties that people encounter when trying to build their edge ML models is gathering a large, yet simultaneously diverse, dataset. Audio models normally require setting up a microphone, capturing long sequences of sounds, and then manually removing bad data from the resulting files. Shakhizat Nurgaliyev’s project, however, eliminates the…

Improving comfort and energy efficiency in buildings with automated windows and blinds
Reading Time: 2 minutesWhen dealing with indoor climate controls, there are several variables to consider, such as the outside weather, people’s tolerance to hot or cold temperatures, and the desired level of energy savings. Windows can make this extra challenging, as they let in large amounts of light/heat and can create poorly insulated regions, which…

Teaching an Arduino UNO R4-powered robot to navigate obstacles autonomously
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe rapid rise of edge AI capabilities on embedded targets has proven that relatively low-resource microcontrollers are capable of some incredible things. And following the recent release of the Arduino UNO R4 with its Renesas RA4M1 processor, the ceiling has gotten even higher as YouTuber Nikodem Bartnik has demonstrated with his lidar-equipped mobile robot. Bartnik’s…

Nothin’ but (neural) net: Track your basketball score with a Nano 33 BLE Sense
Reading Time: 2 minutesWhen playing a short game of basketball, few people enjoy having to consciously track their number of successful throws. Yet when it comes to automation, nearly all systems rely on infrared or visual proximity detection as a way to determine when a shot has gone through the basket versus missed. This is…

Helping robot dogs feel through their paws
Reading Time: 2 minutesYour dog has nerve endings covering its entire body, giving it a sense of touch. It can feel the ground through its paws and use that information to gain better traction or detect harmful terrain. For robots to perform as well as their biological counterparts, they need a similar level of sensory…

This smart diaper knows when it is ready to be changed
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe traditional method for changing a diaper starts when someone smells or feels the that the diaper has been soiled, and while it isn’t the greatest process, removing the soiled diaper as soon as possible is important for avoiding rashes and infections. Justin Lutz has created an intelligent solution to this situation by designing…

This Nicla Vision-based fire detector was trained entirely on synthetic data
Reading Time: 2 minutesDue to an ever-warming planet thanks to climate change and greatly increasing wildfire chances because of prolonged droughts, being able to quickly detect when a fire has broken out is vital for responding while it’s still in a containable stage. But one major hurdle to collecting machine learning model datasets on these…
