ASUS Showcases Latest AIoT Solutions for AI Edge-Computing Applications at CES 2020

AIoT solutions

ASUS nowadays showcased the modern day AIoT solutions for AI aspect-computing packages at CES 2020, such as the brand new Mini PC PN61T with integrated Google Edge TPU and Tinker Edge collection of single board computer systems with an onboard impartial community accelerator processor (NPU). This cutting-edge line-up of AIoT-geared up merchandise are designed for actual-existence AI side-computing applications, from AI-enabled purchaser robotics and clever vending machines to AI-enabled video conferencing and digicam set-ups.

Ultra-compact and Mini PC for AIoT The ASUS Mini PC PN61T is engineered with AIoT in mind, with examined 24/7 reliability in a extensive range of situations, an up to Intel® Core i7 processor and built-in Google Edge TPU, a machine learning (ML) accelerator that hurries up processing performance, lowers electricity needs and makes it easier to build related gadgets and smart packages. A dual-array of the front microphones gives audio input help, at the same time as a consumer infrared sensor allows faraway manage software with the PN61T. The Mini PC PN61T is perfect for a lot of AI aspect-computing use cases with out stressful about excessive noise, thanks to a quiet cooling fan.
The Mini PC PN61T presents complete and excessive-pace connectivity with multiple ports, consisting of the front-set up, smooth-get right of entry to USB three.1 Gen2 Type-C ports, Micro SD card reader, extra USB ports together with a USB Type-C input for quick charging and an HDMI enter inside the returned, and a configurable port option (such as COM, VGA, DisplayPort, Intel LAN and Thunderbolt 3) for legacy devices, extra presentations or a couple of community connections. With a handy sliding chassis layout, dual-storage capabilities, and a compact and stackable shape factor, the PN61T is designed for modularity and versatility.

Tinker Edge collection designed for AI computing The Tinker Edge series is constructed from the AI-ready Tinker Edge T and Tinker Edge R devices, that are powerful Single Board Computer (SBC) in a small shape thing that offers elegance-main overall performance, sturdiness and stability as well as typical progressed person reports for developers. The Tinker Edge series gives a totally-embedded design with multi-center ARM® Cortex® processor, GPU and multimedia processor (as much as 4K at the Tinker Edge R), and robust extensibility with GbE Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPIO pins, all in a compact length, making it a perfect IoT edge device. Each tool is AI-geared up, with an NXP i.mX 8M SoC on the Tinker Edge T and a Rockchip RK3399 PRO at the Tinker Edge R, as well as Edge TPU for high overall performance and occasional energy consumption that is most appropriate for AI inference.
Because the NPU is optimized for handling impartial networks, the Tinker Edge collection is good for bringing synthetic intelligence talents from the cloud to a nearby device even as preserving user information neighborhood and secure. Each tool is made to fulfill low energy demands that permit embedded packages to run online as well as offline in a discipline in which connectivity is constrained. A rich I/O interface manner a mess of growth options, together with HDMI, MIPI-DSI, Dual MIPI-CSI, USB 3, Type-C and forty-pin GPIOs. And each Tinker Edge laptop comes with maker-pleasant aid, with a totally open-source Kernel that helps more than one APIs, such as OpenGL, Vulkan, OpenCL, OpenVX, TensorFlow Lite, AndroidNN and Caffe.

Ready for AI part-computing innovations ASUS will show off AI area-computing programs using the Mini PC PN61T, Tinker Edge T and Tinker Edge R at the ASUS CES 2020 showrooms in Las Vegas, NV from January 6-nine, 2020. Learn more about diverse AI-facet computing use cases based on ASUS AIoT solutions, along with an AI-enabled consumer robot, video conferencing, vending machine and a smart digital camera.
