Ceva's diverse customer base, spanning leading semiconductor companies and forward-thinking consumer electronics brands, can now leverage Elliptic Labs' end-to-end AI software solution, the AI Virtual Smart Sensor Platform™, on the NeuPro-Nano NPU to achieve precise, optimized AI models, delivering rich contextual user experiences at the edge. This enables seamless interaction for devices such as noise-canceling earbuds, touchless smart displays, presence-aware thermostats, and predictive industrial sensors. The integration complements Ceva's NeuPro Studio SDK and is ready for production, accelerating the development and deployment of smart sensing capabilities for a wide range of AIoT applications.
Laila Danielsen, CEO of Ilios Labs, said, “This collaboration is an important step in expanding the reach of the AI Virtual Smart Sensor Platform. By combining end-to-end AI capabilities with Ceva's efficient NeuPro-Nano NPU, we can create powerful synergies to help device manufacturers introduce context-aware intelligent features into the next generation of smart devices. The two companies are collaborating to achieve truly scalable edge AI.”
Chad Lucien, Vice President and General Manager of Ceva's Sensor and Audio Business Unit, commented: “Elipph Lab's software-first AI approach perfectly complements the NeuPro-Nano NPU's strengths in ultra-low power consumption and high-performance processing. By integrating Elipph Lab's platform, we enable customers to rapidly deploy smart sensing and interaction capabilities, delivering smarter, faster-responding products across the AIoT landscape.”
The Illipus Labs platform supports efficient model deployment, quantization, and runtime optimization, making it ideal for real-time sensor fusion, gesture detection, presence sensing, and other contextual AI applications. When paired with Ceva's NeuPro-Nano NPU, it reduces resource consumption and delivers industry-leading edge computing performance.
This collaboration underscores both companies' commitment to advancing edge AI innovation, delivering smarter, faster-responding user experiences without compromising energy efficiency or latency.
