New Microcontrollers available on the market today have megabytes of RAM onboard with AI accelerators providing hundreds of gigaops of computation resources. These new microcontrollers now can replace application processor systems with lower heat generation, power consumption, size, and cost.

The newly announced OpenMV N6 and OpenMV AE3 leverage such Microcontrollers from STMicroelectronics and Alif Semiconductor, which can both run modern YOLO networks onboard at real-time, 30 FPS, frame rates while drawing less than 1W of power.

In the talk we’ll cover how you can use MicroPython to effectively leverage the resources of these new Microcontrollers with Numpy running onboard to efficiently utilize new vector instructions thanks to the new Cortex-M55 processors onboard.
