Agents will also need CPU plus acceleration to run on edge devices, said Ambarella’s Muneyb Minhazuddin. The post Can Agentic AI Solve the Embedded Software Problem? appeared first on EE Times .
The proliferation of AI models, combined with increasing demand for intelligent edge devices, is driving the need for more efficient and autonomous software solutions at the embedded level.
Agentic AI on embedded systems could fundamentally alter how software is developed, deployed, and maintained on edge devices, enabling higher autonomy and reducing reliance on traditional, manually intensive embedded programming.
The paradigm shifts from static, pre-programmed embedded software to dynamic, self-optimizing, and adaptive agent-based systems, requiring new hardware and software architectures.
