SOBRIC: Multimodal Edge Sound-AI Safety System
SOBRIC is a next-generation multimodal Edge Sound AI safety-monitoring system that detects danger conventional cameras alone can miss. Two linked edge devices localize sound across a full 360 degrees and, on-device, classify dangerous sounds — gunshots, screams, falls, explosions — and detect emergency keywords in real time. When an event is confirmed, the system connects to a server for language identification, emergency-intent interpretation, and translated messaging, steers pan-tilt-zoom cameras to the source, and alerts existing video-management and control platforms. In camera-restricted spaces it operates by audio alone; where cameras are permitted, it fuses sound with video objects to improve accuracy. Built on Cranberry's field-validated Edge Sound AI platform, SOBRIC turns simple detections into the information that public-safety and infrastructure operators need for fast response worldwide.
