Navigating AI Model Deployment in Edge Systems

Today we’re joined by Heather Gorr, principal MATLAB product marketing manager at MathWorks. In our conversation with Heather, we discuss the deployment of AI models to hardware devices and embedded AI systems. We explore factors to consider during data preparation, model development, and ultimately deployment, to ensure a successful project. Factors such as device constraints and latency requirements which dictate the amount and frequency of data flowing onto the device are discussed, as are modeling needs such as explainability, robustness and quantization; the use of simulation throughout the modeling process; the need to apply robust verification and validation methodologies to ensure safety and reliability; and the need to adapt and apply MLOps techniques for speed and consistency. Heather also shares noteworthy anecdotes about embedded AI deployments in industries including automotive and oil & gas.
