In this three-hour, hands-on workshop, developers will quickly learn to use state-of-the-art AI models to add cutting-edge features in embedded devices. With ample tech support on hand, you will develop a practical understanding of resource tradeoffs in edge AI applications with real-world examples. And remember—you go home with Synaptics’ Astra Machina development kit (SKU: SL1680), where you can apply that knowledge and make use of the kit’s online resources to adapt to custom applications.

Who should attend?
This workshop, which combines lectures with one-on-one instruction, is aimed at engineers who want to learn to integrate AI into their next embedded system design. Familiarity with Linux and Python is recommended.
