PITTSBURGH — March 27, 2024
Aspinity, the leader in near-zero power AI solutions, today announced the availability of a suite of new AnalogML™ algorithms for parked vehicle monitoring. Aspinity also launched a new dashcam-focused evaluation kit that enables the accurate detection and recording of security events for weeks or more without impacting the vehicle's battery or requiring an external power source.
The number of sensors per car has grown rapidly as innovative automotive OEMs have implemented more real-time monitoring applications for predictive and preventative maintenance, safety and security, infotainment, and more. While a vehicle's power budget is stringent in any circumstance, always-on sensing is particularly challenging when the vehicle is parked, since data collection and processing must happen without depleting the battery.
The result to date is that always-on security solutions can either be highly accurate or deliver an extended parking mode, but not at the same time. Aspinity's innovative AML100 analog machine learning processor removes the power barrier so that vehicles can be continuously monitored for an extended period without having to worry about the vehicle's battery.
At CES 2024 in Las Vegas, Aspinity demonstrated a side-by-side comparison of event detection accuracy using a dashcam with a standard g-sensor and a dashcam with a single microphone and an AML100. The solution consumes under 50µA always-on and eliminates the video recording of false events that waste power and must be reviewed by the owner.
Aspinity's solution uses an acoustic-only trigger with AnalogML algorithms trained specifically to identify automotive security events, which vastly outperforms the g-sensor in detecting relevant vehicle events such as the jiggling of a door handle, a neighboring car door opening into the vehicle, and a runaway shopping cart hitting the side of the car. The AML100 also specifically identifies particularly important security events, such as window glass breaking, so the owner can be alerted immediately.
About Aspinity — Aspinity is the world leader in the design and development of analog processing chips that enable near-zero power AI systems. Aspinity's analog computing technology brings the versatility, performance, and consistency of digital neural processing into the lower-power analog domain to achieve the efficiency required for sophisticated AI at the edge.
