536: I’ve Seen a Giraffe

David Such joins us to discuss his new book, Embedded AI: Intelligence at the Deep Edge. We explore the boundary between classical signal processing, heuristics, and edge machine learning; IMU processing and sensor fusion; and how to determine what sort of ML fits on your processor. David also shares his experiences writing for No Starch Press and why future robotic architectures need a digital cerebellum for low-level reflexes.David Such is an electrical engineer based in Sydney. He is the director of Reefwing Software.Discussion Resources & LinksDavid's Website & Book Resources:Embedded AI: Intelligence at the Deep Edge (No Starch Press, on Amazon)Embedded AI GitHub RepositoryEmbedded AI Newsletter SignupReefwing Software WebsiteReefwing Software on MediumTechnologies & Frameworks Mentioned:Sensor Fusion, Kalman filters, Mahoney filters, and quaternions for IMU processingTensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers & Edge ImpulseRaspberry Pi Pico / RP2040 PIO and DMA engines
