Humanoid Compute, Security More Complex Than AVs

Key Takeaways: Distributed compute includes AI-enabled MCUs/NPUs in the palm of the hand to pre-process finger data, while a centralized compute system often features a GPU to process the raw inputs from all sensors via an FPGA-based sensor bridge and Ethernet. Hybrid architectures are needed to accommodate various robotics applications, some of which will feature cloud-connected large language models and vision-language-action models. Others will benefit from targeted small language models. A w
