Abstract

An overview is given of the DAVID Smart-Toy platform, one of the first Edge-AI platform designs to incorporate advanced low-power data processing by neural inference models co-located with the relevant image or audio sensors. There is also on-board capability for in-device text-to-speech generation. Two alternative embodiments are presented - a smart Teddy-bear and a roving dog-like robot. The platform offers a speech-driven user interface and can observe and interpret user actions and facial expressions via its computer vision sensor node. A particular benefit of this design is that no personally identifiable information passes beyond the neural inference nodes thus providing inbuild compliance with data protection regulations.
