In early 2026, as part of the Edge Impulse team, I brought a small rover to Embedded World 2026 (Nuremberg) and demoed it on the show floor (Edge Impulse booth 4-505) and in the Qualcomm Theater. The demo resonated because it showed a practical pattern for industrial inspection with on-device AI: detect potential risk areas quickly while moving, stop only when something looks worth a closer look, then collect a consistent close-up and score it with a second model.
