Elliptic Labs, a global AI software company, and Ceva, a licensor of silicon and software IP that enables smart Edge devices to connect, sense and infer data more reliably and efficiently, have announced a collaboration to bring Elliptic Labs’ AI Virtual Smart Sensor Platform to Ceva’s state of the art NeuPro-Nano Neural Processing Unit (NPU), enabling next-generation, context-aware sensing on ultra-low power Edge devices.
From semiconductor companies to forward-looking consumer electronics brands, Ceva customers can now harness Elliptic Labs’ AI Virtual Smart Sensor Platform, a full-stack AI software solution, on the NeuPro-Nano NPU—enabling precise, optimised AI models for rich, contextual user experiences at the Edge. This provides seamless interaction in devices such as noise-cancelling earbuds, touchless smart displays, presence-aware thermostats, and predictive industrial sensors. Together with Ceva’s NeuPro Studio SDK, this integration is production-ready, accelerating development and deployment of intelligent sensing features across a wide range of artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) applications.
“This collaboration is a major step forward in expanding the reach of our AI Virtual Smart Sensor Platform,” said Laila Danielsen, CEO of Elliptic Labs. “Combining our full-stack AI capabilities with Ceva’s highly efficient NeuPro-Nano NPU, creates a powerful synergy that helps device makers bring context-aware, intelligent features to a new generation of smart devices. Together, we’re unlocking true Edge AI scalability.”
“Elliptic Labs software-first approach to AI aligns perfectly with our NeuPro-Nano NPU’s strength in ultra-low power, high-performance processing,” added Chad Lucien, Vice President and General Manager of the Sensors and Audio Business Unit of Ceva. “By integrating Elliptic Labs’ platform, we’re enabling our customers to rapidly deploy intelligent sensing and interaction capabilities and deliver smarter, more responsive products across the AIoT spectrum.”
The Elliptic Labs platform supports efficient model deployment, quantisation, and runtime optimisation for real-time sensor fusion, gesture detection, presence sensing, and other contextual AI applications. When paired with Ceva’s NeuPro-Nano NPU, the combined solution ensures best-in-class performance for Edge computing with minimal resource consumption.
This collaboration highlights both companies’ commitment to advancing AI innovation at the Edge—delivering smarter, more responsive user experiences without compromising power efficiency or latency.
