2022-02-2350 minThinking Elixir Podcast85: Computer Vision in Elixir with Cocoa XuWe talk with Cocoa Xu about his PhD robotics project and his related Evision project that creates Elixir bindings to the OpenCV library. The project enables computer vision in Elixir much easier by building on existing projects. We learn about the kinds of features this enables and how it can target embedded devices as well. His goal of a clustered, collaborative, hoard of Elixir robots is terrifyingly fascinating! 😄

Total World Domination. Where Elixir goes and where the BEAM goes, they are doing a good job. The abstractions are right, the foundation is right and most folks aren't fighting with the tooling and the language and the runtime to achieve these amazing goals. Hosts discuss Liveview, Nerves, and Machine Learning and the BEAM ecosystem.
