What Reduced Energy Microsystems does
Reduced Energy Microsystems is building the most power-efficient silicon for embedded computer vision to bring visual intelligence to a whole new range of devices. By combining proprietary asynchronous resilient technology with a custom neural network architecture, REM chips will handle state-of-the-art inference and traditional vision workloads in a tiny power envelope. REM makes augmented reality, body-worn cameras, and autonomous robots smarter than ever before.

Company
Reduced Energy Microsystems
Lowest-power silicon for embedded deep learning
We are building custom silicon chips that run embedded computer vision and neural network inference at the lowest power possible. Our chips combine proprietary asynchronous resilient technology with a custom neural network architecture to run both AI and traditional vision tasks efficiently. This lets devices like augmented reality gear, body-worn cameras, and autonomous robots process visual data while using a tiny fraction of the power current chips need.
We live now in San Francisco, and the company would be based there after YC.
San Francisco lets us be close to both advanced hardware talent and potential customers in robotics and AR. It's the best place for a small hardware startup aiming to build and ship silicon for embedded AI.
