Impact
To create a consumer-friendly product requires adaptive engineering from our end. For example: We enabled intelligent edgeAI and removed the need for cloud-based AI application.
A personalized UX via multi-modal UI was developed which is scalable, interactive and would respond to a person. This is based on their distance from screen and profile to further improve the product's experience.
Our in-house team of researchers, system engineers, UX designers, robotics and AI engineers also helped achieve an AI engine accuracy between 85-95%.
