AI Object Detection Hardware for Space and Polar Region Exploration

人工智能（AI）算法正变得越来越强大——改进语音识别，提供驾驶辅助，甚至推荐电影和音乐。要将这些算法应用到条件极端、电力和人为干预都有限的环境中，就需要它们作为节能的强大硬件运行。该项目将生产实现尖端目标检测人工智能系统的电子硬件。这些电子设备将能够应对极端的高温以及功率和辐射的大幅波动。我们的项目得到了空间和极地探索领域的最终用户的明确支持：地球上和地球外一些最具挑战性和最危险的环境。

Artificial Intelligence, or AI, algorithms are becoming ever more powerful - improving speech recognition, providing driving assistance and even recommending movies and music. To take these algorithms into environments where conditions are extreme, and both power and human intervention are limited, requires that they run as power efficient robust hardware. This project will produce electronic hardware that realizes a cutting-edge object detection AI system. These electronics will be capable of coping with extremes of heat and large fluctuations of power and radiation. Our project is explicitly supported by end users in the fields of space and polar region exploration: some of the most challenging and hazardous environments on and beyond earth.
