NXP EdgeReady Smart HMI solution based on i.MX RT117H with ML vision, voice and graphical UI capabilities

NXP's EdgeReady Smart Human Machine Interface (SMMHMI) solution leverages the i.MX RT117H crossover MCU to enable developers to quickly and easily enable multi-modal smart hands-free functionality in their products, including machine learning (ML), facial recognition recognition, gesture recognition, far-field voice control and 2D graphical user interface (GUI). These features can be mixed and matched to simplify overall system design using a single high-performance crossover MCU from NXP.

The solution’s development kit, SLN-TLHMI-IOT, offers features to maximize time to market, reduce risk and development effort, including fully integrated turnkey software, hardware reference designs and NXP Pu’s one-stop support provides an out-of-the-box operating experience. With i.MX RT117H, face/gesture recognition and voice control can be performed completely offline, without the need for a cloud connection and without the associated privacy and latency issues.

In addition to production-grade face/gesture recognition, AFE built-in far-field voice control and advanced GUI functions, its software framework also allows designers to flexibly customize visual and voice functions, as well as combine these functions. i.MX RT117H is used in a variety of HMI applications, including but not limited to consumer electronics, industrial control, etc.
