AI is the current buzzword, with deep learning and other models now capable of being run on Edge Devices, aside from the Cloud. As Makers, how can we take advantage of this burgeoning field to incorporate cool new functionality into the things we make?

For the beginner, this can be a very daunting field. In this presentation, Sridhar takes a 30,000-foot view of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, especially as it pertains to Edge AI (translation-we won't get bogged down by nitty-gritty now!). He looks at the various practical applications they can be used for, the various tools and frameworks that are available to utilize, and practical considerations of how to build and deploy a robust (not toy!) model that can run on your Arduino, Raspberry Pi or other suitable MCUs/SBCs.

Sridhar is an Entrepreneur, Software Engineer, Maker & Tinkerer. A seasoned tinkerer of bits and bytes, with his first ever Maker Faire experience in 2012, he was hooked on the Maker Movement and started getting his hands dirty in all things making. He was a finalist at "Reinventing Healthy Spaces" with his BreatheRight project.
