Why Screenless AI Devices May Be the Next Major Growth Category in Technology
Some of the most innovative designs changing healthcare, fitness, and industrial edge have no displays—and that’s a deliberate engineering choice. When we picture a “smart” device, we instinctively picture a screen. A glowing rectangle delivering notifications, graphs, and menus. It’s an assumption so deeply baked into consumer tech that we...

The Future of Intelligent Leak Detection Systems: Why Edge AI Is Moving to the Sensor
The leak detection industry is evolving. For years, monitoring systems focused primarily on collecting and transmitting data. Sensors detected moisture, measured environmental conditions, and generated alerts when predefined...
Gauging Failure: How Edge AI is Used to Assess the Health of Industrial Bearings
Edge AI is learning to detect the warning signs of machine failure through vibration analysis of industrial bearings in a more practical, scalable way. An industrial machine bearing does not fail all at once. It will indicate signs through tiny...
Solving the Memory Challenge of Always-on Edge AI with compressionKIT
Inference gets the attention, but continuous sensor data drives memory, bandwidth, and power constraints. compressionKIT™ reduces data at the source—enabling more efficient, scalable edge AI systems The past few years of edge...
Smart Implants: From Uneasy Idea to Life-Changing Reality
Even the most enthusiastic advocates of technology can feel uneasy when the conversation turns to implants. It’s one thing to wear a watch that tracks your heart rate; it’s quite another to have a device...
Power Meets Performance: How Ambiq’s Ultra-Low Power Semiconductors Propel the Future of Edge AI
The Power-Performance Trade-Off—Reimagined For decades, engineers and designers have grappled with a tough choice: do you prioritize higher performance or longer battery life? Historically, these two goals were mutually exclusive. More...
The Lag Effect: What Is Latency in Smart Devices?
In today’s fast-paced, connected world, speed matters, especially when it comes to intelligence. Whether you’re talking to a virtual assistant, relying on a smartwatch for health alerts, or monitoring an industrial sensor for preventive maintenance,...
Subthreshold Operation: Engineering the Future of Ultra-Low-Power Semiconductors
What if the biggest breakthrough in semiconductor power efficiency came from operating transistors below their normal limits? That’s exactly what Ambiq achieved with SPOT® (Subthreshold Power Optimized...
AI Personal Health Coaches – Counting Steps Is Only the Start
Image by Freepik Not that long ago in human history, the idea of counting steps was mainly used for very rough estimates of distance or perhaps old-timey duels with pistols at sunset. Today, counting steps for health is common, and everyone...
4 Steps to Choose an Energy-Efficient Semiconductor for Wearables
Selecting energy-efficient semiconductors for wearables is crucial for enhancing device performance and battery life. Low power consumption, size, processing power, and connectivity are essential criteria that manufacturers must consider. By...
