With Reality AI Tools Explorer, Renesas is fostering an ecosystem of innovation.

By Nalin Balan, AI Business Development Director at Renesas Electronics.

The Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) is at the forefront of innovation in today’s rapidly evolving technology landscape. As we witness the convergence of IoT, AI, and 5G, the potential for transformative applications is boundless. Renesas is committed to empowering developers and businesses to harness this potential. This is why Renesas recently launched a free trial of Reality AI Tools Explorer.

The new Reality AI Explorer Tier provides free access to a comprehensive, self-guided evaluation “sandbox” of powerful AI/ML development features. Qualified customers can access the complete range of features in Reality AI Tools, including automated AI model construction, validation and deployment modules. Reality AI Explorer Tier includes a rich library of tutorials, application examples, FAQs, access to the community forum, and email support. Users can quickly get started with a simplified click-through end user agreement.

Reality AI Explorer Tier is designed to simplify the customer experience for evaluating the development environment for embedded real-time analytics. Users can explore a variety of pre-built AI applications, offering a practical way to experience the capabilities of Reality AI Tools without the need for extensive setup or support. Examples allow the user to leverage Renesas kits such as AI kits with sample datasets that span use cases across accelerometry/vibration analysis, audio classification, and motor control.

Reality AI Tools is now tightly integrated with Renesas compute products and supports all Renesas MCUs and MPUs natively with a built- in parts picker engine. Support for automatic context switching between Reality AI Tools and e2 Studio, Renesas’ flagship embedded development environment, is also in place.

Key features of the reality AI Tools Explorer include the following:

Full-Featured Experience:

Users gain access to all automated AI model construction, validation, and deployment modules. This includes advanced features for BOM optimization, allowing developers to explore the most cost- effective AI implementations for embedded products.

Seamless Developer Workflow: Rapid AI model prototyping with Renesas kits integrated with e2 studio and Reality AI Tools streamlines the development process from concept to deployment (Figure 1).

Pre-built Application Examples: Explore a variety of AI applications spanning use cases in accelerometry/ vibration analysis, audio classification, and motor control. These examples leverage Renesas AI kits and datasets, offering practical insights into the capabilities of Reality AI Tools.

Self-Guided Support Resources: A rich library of tutorials, application notes, and FAQs empowers users to navigate and utilize the tools effectively. Community forum access ensures developers have the support and resources they need to succeed.

In an era where edge computing and TinyML are gaining momentum, the ability to develop efficient, accurate AI models for resource- constrained devices is crucial. Reality AI Tools stands out by combining advanced signal processing with machine learning to deliver full accuracy in a tiny footprint without compromises. The Explorer Tier is poised to accelerate AI adoption across a broad spectrum of markets, including automotive, industrial, and IoT applications.
