At CES 2025, embedUR Systems and Synaptics showcased a groundbreaking privacy-focused Edge AI solution designed for personalized and secure IoT applications. Central to this demonstration was the Synaptics SR-Series AI MCU, which incorporates pre-integrated AI models for on-device processing. This local, self-contained intelligence eliminates the need for centralized data transfer, ensuring enhanced privacy and data security. For more details, you can visit https://www.synaptics.com
One highlighted demo featured a medication lock box equipped with Synaptics’ intelligent privacy sensor. The box only unlocks for authorized users based on facial recognition. Potential applications include securing alcohol cabinets, safes, and smart door locks. The entire system runs on-device, with no data being transmitted to the cloud, ensuring the user’s privacy and control over sensitive information.
Another demo demonstrated personalization capabilities. A smart sensor adjusted environmental settings, such as lighting colors, based on the preferences of the person in front of it. For example, users could predefine their preferred room lighting, and the system would adapt accordingly when they entered. This technology extends to household appliances, such as coffee machines, stovetops, and air conditioners, enabling tailored experiences for each individual.
The innovative design of the Synaptics privacy sensor prioritizes anonymity. Unlike traditional cameras, the sensor captures low-resolution, heavily filtered images. With a 90% reduction in visual detail, the sensor identifies users without storing high-fidelity images, thus protecting their identity and privacy.
embedUR Systems emphasized the scalability and practicality of these Edge AI applications on compact hardware. The demos showcased the seamless integration of AI-driven facial recognition and image segmentation in everyday devices, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in Edge AI. The applications are ideal for environments where privacy, security, and personalization are paramount.
Additionally, the adaptability of this technology opens doors to future applications in health care, smart homes, and personalized retail experiences. By eliminating the reliance on cloud processing, these solutions also contribute to energy efficiency and reduced latency in decision-making.
The partnership between embedUR Systems and Synaptics highlights a vision of intelligent IoT devices that prioritize user privacy while delivering advanced AI-driven functionality. This collaboration underscores the potential for highly efficient, secure, and personalized experiences across various sectors.
For those visiting CES 2025, embedUR Systems invited attendees to explore their cutting-edge demos at the Synaptics booth in the Venetian Hotel. The exhibit demonstrated the future of Edge AI, blending advanced hardware with user-centric innovations for practical, scalable IoT solutions.
