• TDK AIsight will focus on offering an eye-intent/tracking solution with TDK’s technologies for physical AI;
• TDK announces the TDK AIsight SED0112, a next-generation ultra-low power DSP platform integrating a microcontroller, state machine, and hardware CNN engine for AI Glasses;
• TDK AIsight solutions will be demonstrated at CES at the TDK booth #15803.
TDK Corporation announces the establishment of a new TDK group company, which will operate as TDK AIsight to address the intersection of physical AI (artificial intelligence) and generative AI, empowering AI glasses with intuitive and compelling user experiences. Building on TDK’s 90 years of innovations and venture spirit, TDK AIsight will focus on the development of custom chips, cameras, and AI algorithms enabling end-to-end system solutions, by combining software technologies such as eye-intent/tracking and multiple TDK technologies such as sensors, batteries, passive components, and other cutting-edge innovations. The name AIsight is derived from the use of artificial intelligence and eyesight.
The TDK AIsight next-generation SED0112 microprocessor for AI Glasses is the latest part of a planned platform family of Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) integrating a microcontroller, state machine, and hardware Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) engine. The SED0112’s built-in hardware CNN architecture is specially optimized for eye intent. The microcontroller features ultra-low power DSP processing, eyeGenI™ sensors, and connects to a host processor. SED0112 supports the TDK AIsight eyeGI™ software and algorithms orchestrating the execution of low-power processing, assigning the host processor to be left in a low-power or off state until an event of interest has been detected. The next-gen integrated microprocessor supports a power-saving mechanism, simplifies flow controls, and supports multiple vision sensors at different resolutions. Commercial samples are available now through the TDK AIsight website.
“TDK AIsight will be a systems solution company building groundbreaking technologies to connect users of AI glasses with generative AI, an innovative type of AI that creates new content and ideas, including conversations, stories, images, videos, and music,” said Te-Won Lee, CEO, TDK AIsight. “We will assemble fully integrated solutions bringing together multiple TDK technologies to seamlessly blend context-aware computing, memory & recall, visual analysis, and scene recognition for compelling user experiences.”
“TDK AIsight is a bold, concrete embodiment of our strategy for contributing to the AI ecosystem, a core function of our growth with multiple solutions across TDK for both consumer and industrial segments,” stated Noboru Saito, President and CEO of TDK Corporation. “Physical AI represents a strategic domain within TDK’s contribution to the AI ecosystem and enables technologies across devices, systems, and infrastructure to perceive, understand, and interact with the physical world by processing data from a variety of TDK sensors and technologies. This capability leads to autonomous robots, enhanced consumer devices, and intelligent manufacturing that will interact directly with humans and physical processes to sense user context and deliver personalized AI assistance. TDK AIsight will now be part of our portfolio to move this forward.”
