ISM330IS, 1st Sensor with Intelligent Sensor Processing Unit for Greater AI at the Edge

#artificialintelligence

The SENSOR TEST 2022 conference took place last month in Nuremberg, Germany, where attendees got to check out the ISM330IS, the first sensor with an intelligent sensor processing unit (ISPU). ST announced the technology in early 2022, and its demonstration is highly symbolic as it testifies to its soon availability. In a nutshell, the ISPU is a C-programmable embedded digital signal processor (DSP) capable of running machine learning and deep learning algorithms. It is thus the next evolution of AI at the Edge, or what ST calls "The Onlife Era". Indeed, the ISM330IS includes a floating point unit for single-bit precision computations, a first in a motion sensor.
