Key Points
• The distinction between autonomy and intelligence
has a huge impact on the cost and complexity of
factory automation.
• While appearing similar, intelligence and autonomy
are different but complementary. Intelligence
enhances autonomy, but it is not a prerequisite for
autonomous operation.
• Overengineering with AI may be counterproductive.
Matching the level of intelligence to the specific task
is essential.
• Choosing the right technology has a huge impact
on power consumption, cost, complexity, and
development cycles.
• STMicroelectronics has the technology that will
deliver AI to the edge without the need for expensive
MPU solutions.
