Arm Viewpoints: Technology meets bear conservation in Ecuador

In this Arm Viewpoints podcast, Geof welcomes Paul Williamson, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the IoT line of business at Arm, for a discussion on the Internet of Things (IoT) and its impact on technology and innovation. They cover a range of topics, including the evolution of IoT, the role of artificial intelligence (AI) at the edge, growth opportunities in IoT deployment, the importance of standards, and Arm's contributions to the IoT and AI landscape. The conversation explores how IoT is transforming various sectors, from smart homes to smart cities, and how Arm is working to make AI accessible across a wide range of devices. The podcast emphasizes the potential of IoT and AI to shape a more connected and intelligent world.

Hosted by Geof Wheelwright, this Arm Viewpoints episode goes deep with Professor Steve Furber and Professor Christian Mayr, to learn more about the SpiNNaker projects, spiking neural networks and what the future holds for this AI technology.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has begun to transform applications and fuel innovation. But to really accelerate the technology’s potential, an ecosystem with hardware, software, tools and strategic partners is required to deliver more diverse, efficient and specialized solutions. In this episode, Geof Wheelwright speaks with Dennis Laudick, vice president of marketing at Arm. The conversation covers advancements in AI over the past year, the role specialized compute plays in enabling flexible approaches to run AI workloads efficiency from cloud to endpoint, how the Arm ecosystem is working to enable AI and examples of advanced AI in action.

Viewpoints host Geof Wheelwright is joined by David Maidment, Senior Director of Secure Device Ecosystem at Arm. David and Geof discuss the mission of PSA Certified, why certification, verification and accountability are essential for the future of IoT Security. The pair will also discuss the findings from the PSA Certified research report, The Turning Point for IoT Security 2022: The Year of Change.

Previously seen as a premium feature in expensive cars, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are being rapidly expanded into more affordable automotive tiers to support vehicle driving and parking functions such as surround view systems, adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance and lane departure warnings. ADAS features require safety-capable image processing technology to support both human and machine vision applications and to address this market, the Arm Mali-C78AE image signal processor is able to process data from up to four real-time or 16 virtual cameras to support Arm’s vision to optimize performance, minimize power consumption and provide a clear focus to functional safety for ADAS. In this episode, Geof Wheelwright is joined by Graeme Voller, Senior Product Manager for Arm’s Automotive and IoT team, and Andy Hanvey, Director of Automotive Marketing, OMNIVISION. The group will discuss ADAS, image signal processing, and the importance of functional safety. In addition to this they will dig deeper into the recent announcement of Arm Mali-G78AE GPU and what it offers the market.

In this episode of the Arm Viewpoints podcast, host Jack Melling explores the current and future applications of AI in automotive with industry experts Masashige Mizuyama from Panasonic Automotive Systems and Simon Teng from Arm. They discuss how AI is already being used in cars for ADAS, voice recognition, and human-machine interfaces, with a focus on fusing sensor data to improve both user experience and safety. The conversation also touches on the long history of AI development in the automotive sector, dating back nearly two decades.

In this episode of the Arm Viewpoints podcast, we explore the fascinating world of Andean bear conservation and the innovative use of AI technology in wildlife research. Host Brian Fuller interviews Dr. Becky Zug, a professor and director of the carnivore lab in Ecuador, and Ed Miller, a senior principal engineer at Arm and co-director of the BearID project. They discuss the challenges of studying elusive Andean bears, the importance of these umbrella species for conservation, and how cutting-edge AI and machine learning techniques are revolutionizing wildlife identification and data analysis.

Renowned wildlife photographer Frederique Olivier shares her experiences working in some of the planet’s most remote and extreme environments. From the frozen landscapes of Antarctica to the vibrant ecosystems of Baffin Island, explore how advancements in AI, drones, and innovative camera equipment are transforming the way we document and conserve the natural world. Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, a photography lover, or passionate about conservation, join us as we uncover the stories behind the lenses and the technology that brings nature’s most elusive moments to life.

AI and edge computing are revolutionizing wildlife conservation efforts. Join In the first of a two-part series, Arm Editor-in-Chief Brian Fuller, wildlife researcher Melanie Clapham and Arm technologist Ed Miller as they discuss the Bear ID project, using Arm technology to identify individual bears non-invasively. Discover the challenges, ethical considerations, and future potential of AI in animal research and protection.

Simon Holland, Vice President of Solutions Management for Arm's Client Line of Business, and Nathan Li, Director of Smartphone Product Marketing at Mediatek join host Geof Wheelwright to discuss how to build a flagship smartphone.
