Build Physical AI Systems That Perceive, Decide and Act in Real Time
Physical AI systems are transforming how machines interact with the world around them. Many Physical AI systems and Edge AI devices process data and make decisions locally, while adding the ability to safely act in the physical world. From advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles to humanoid robots, drones and intelligent industrial systems, these applications must process continuous streams of sensor data, make real-time decisions, and safely execute actions in dynamic environments. Synopsys provides the industry's broadest IP portfolio of silicon-proven interface, memory interfaces, foundation, security, multi-die and silicon lifecycle management (SLM) to help engineers accelerate Physical AI SoC development, reduce integration risk, and achieve first-pass silicon success.
