AI at the Edge: Motorola Solutions and Neurala to Work Together on Intelligence for Cameras

Work will integrate Neurala’s real-time artificial
intelligence capabilities with Motorola Solutions’ next-generation
software and cameras
Motorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI) announced today that it will work
with artificial intelligence (AI) company Neurala to develop
intelligent cameras for public safety users. The goal is to enable
police officers to more efficiently search for objects or persons
of interest, such as missing children and suspects.
The companies will work together to integrate Neurala’s AI
capabilities with Motorola Solutions’ software and cameras,
including its Si500 body-worn camera. The integration will create
intelligent cameras that can learn “at the edge” and automatically
search for persons or objects of interest – significantly reducing
the time and effort required to find a missing child or suspicious
object in environments that are often crowded or chaotic.
“We see powerful potential for artificial intelligence to
improve safety and efficiency for our customers, which in turn
helps create safer communities,” said Paul Steinberg, Chief
Technology Officer, Motorola Solutions. “But applying AI in a
public safety setting presents unique challenges. Neurala’s ‘edge
learning’ capabilities will help us explore solutions for a variety
of public safety workflows such as finding a missing child or
investigating an object of interest, such as a bicycle.”
Neurala’s “at the edge” learning capabilities help solve some of
the biggest challenges that come with real-time applications of AI.
Neurala’s patent-pending technology provides an alternative to
lengthy training for the AI engine, so that, for example, the
intelligent camera “learns” to identify the person or object of
interest. This feature, known as incremental learning, also reduces
the risk of “catastrophic forgetting,” which occurs when a neural
network forgets its previous training. Incremental learning also
enables enhanced accuracy and latency for real-time public safety
applications of AI.
“Neurala’s technology enables AI applications to learn at the
edge after their deployment,” Steinberg continued. “This can unlock
new applications for public safety users. In the case of a missing
child, imagine if the parent showed the child’s photo to a nearby
police officer on patrol. The officer’s body-worn camera sees the
photo, the AI engine ‘learns’ what the child looks like and deploys
an engine to the body-worn cameras of nearby officers, quickly
creating a team searching for the child.”
“Neurala’s L-DNN (Lifelong Deep Neural Network) technology
eliminates the risk of ‘catastrophic forgetting,’ the number-one
problem limiting the growth of deep learning neural networks for
real-time use. Neurala’s technology solves the problem instantly at
the device, accelerating the development of new AI applications
that can learn at the edge after their deployment,” explained
Massimiliano “Max” Versace, Neurala CEO. ”Working with Motorola
Solutions to explore public safety applications of local, real-time
AI leverages the power of artificial intelligence for the greater
good.”
Neurala will initially work with Motorola Solutions to build a
prototype that allows for real-time learning for a person of
interest search. Motorola Solutions Venture Capital, the company’s
strategic investment group, was a lead investor in Neurala’s Series
A funding announced in January.
