In recent years, edge AI technology has rapidly advanced, opening new possibilities in various fields. Many individuals have also experienced an increase in opportunities to interact with AI, and within this context, I believe that many have come to appreciate the challenges of building AI solutions from scratch.
Renesas provides pre-trained "AI Applications" (hereinafter referred to as AI apps) that closely align with practical AI applications, and these are available free of charge for commercial use. Furthermore, utilizing these AI apps can significantly reduce the man-hours required for AI development. These AI apps can be easily modified and built using the AI Software Development Kit (AI SDK) software environment designed for the Evaluation Board Kit.
Please refer to the following blog for information about the concept of AI apps:

This application detects motorcycles, bicycles, and other objects hidden in blind spots while driving, minimizing the risk of accidents during right or left turns. It supports safe driving for the driver.
Defect Inspection Support
This application monitors the production line in factories and detects cracks in manufactured products. It supports the inspection process of products, contributing to factory automation and quality control.
In addition to the AI apps introduced in this blog, there is a lineup of various other AI apps available at AI Applications.
Furthermore, tutorial videos for executing these AI apps, labeled “RZ/V2L AI Applications Tutorial Getting Started v2.10” have been published on YouTube and the Renesas Website.
