SensiML believes the opportunity for IoT smart sensing devices to enrich our lives is only just beginning. Advances in miniaturized high-fidelity sensing enabled by MEMS technology and smartphone economies of scale continue to drive new groundbreaking capabilities to measure the world around us. The next big advance before us is the convergence of these low-cost rich-data sensors with ever more capable microcontrollers and the advent of vector and machine learning accelerators that will bring significant leaps in intelligence to rich data sensing devices.

As with nearly every advance in computing hardware, software development tools allowing programmers to fully tap these new capabilities are critical but all too often overlooked. SensiML is committed to the development and commercialization of a groundbreaking machine-learning developer tool suite that facilitates rapid creation of evolving, real-time embedded algorithms for a new generation of smart sensing Internet of Things and wearable computing devices.

The core team is composed of data scientists, developers, and managers formerly from Intel Corporation that set out to build a game-changing software development tool to simplify the complex problem of building AI algorithms for practical use in ultra low-power microcontroller applications as found in consumer IoT devices, industrial sensor endpoints, and wearables. In January 2019, SensiML was acquired by QuickLogic Corporation with a charter to continue its vision for simplifying AI algorithm development with powerful, platform-agnostic tools that make AI practical and useful by all developers on low-power embedded smart devices of nearly all capabilities.
