Introduction to On-Device AI
As AI moves beyond the cloud, on-device inference is rapidly expanding to smartphones, IoT devices, robots, AR/VR headsets, and more. Billions of mobile and other edge devices are ready to run optimized AI models. This course equips you with key skills to deploy AI on device: 1. Explore how deploying models on device reduces latency, enhances efficiency, and preserves privacy. 2. Go through key concepts of on-device deployment such as neural network graph capture, on-device compilation, and hardware acceleration. 3. Convert pretrained models from PyTorch and TensorFlow for on-device compatibility. 4. Deploy a real-time image segmentation model on device with just a few lines of code. 5. Test your model performance and validate numerical accuracy when deploying to on-device environments 6. Quantize and make your model up to 4x faster and 4x smaller for higher on-device performance. 7. See a demonstration of the steps for integrating the model into a functioning Android app. Learn from Krishna Sridhar, Senior Director of Engineering at Qualcomm, who has played a pivotal role in deploying over 1,000 models on devices and, with his team, has created the infrastructure used by over 100,000 applications. By learning these techniques, you’ll be positioned to develop and deploy AI to billions of devices and optimize your complex models to run efficiently on the edge.

Robot Localization with Python and Particle Filters
In this one hour long project-based course, you will tackle a real-world problem in robotics. We will be simulating a robot that can move around in an unknown environment, and have it discover its own location using only a terrain map and an elevation sensor. We will encounter some of the classic challenges that make robotics difficult: noisy sensor data, and imprecise movement. We will tackle these challenges with an artificial intelligence technique called a particle filter. By the end of this project, you will have coded a particle filter from scratch using Python and numpy. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
