Endpoint Intelligence

Beginning with Endpoint Intelligence, Renesas aims to contribute to the realization of an eco-friendly, smart society that supports safer and healthy living in areas where this cannot be solved simply by using big data in the cloud. With its flexible and scalable embedded artificial intelligence (e-AI) concept, Renesas offers a future-proof, real-time, low power AI processing solution that is unique in the industry and addresses the specific needs for artificial intelligence in embedded devices at the endpoint.
