Turn Any Android Devices into an AI Sensor Hub

Learn how to transform any Android device into a powerful mobile AI sensor hub using Edge Impulse. In this session, we’ll guide you through the complete workflow with sample code, from activating your device’s built-in sensors and cameras to collecting real-world data, training machine learning models, and deploying them for real-time inference. You’ll discover how easy it is to bring machine learning to the edge without the need for purpose-built hardware, enabling you to deploy AI directly to Android apps and solve real-world problems using just your phone. The same process can be applied to Android wearable devices as well. We’ll showcase practical applications such as visual anomaly detection in manufacturing, motion and fall detection for wearables, and predictive maintenance for industrial equipment. Whether you're an app developer or an embedded engineer, you'll leave equipped to prototype your own edge AI solutions on Android devices without needing advanced AI expertise. Join us to accelerate your journey into edge intelligence! What to bring: A decent Android phone. No need for super advanced processors or hardware.
