Turn Any Android Devices into an AI Sensor Hub
summary
Step-by-step workflow that turns any Android handset or wearable into an on-device ML sensor hub using Edge Impulse and an Android sample app: scan the project QR from a phone to collect and label images, create an impulse (object or visual anomaly), train with cloud resources, download a TF Lite + Edge Impulse SDK bundle, swap into the GitHub sample, build with Android Studio and NDK and sideload the APK. Example project uses about 364 images and yields roughly ~80% accuracy for Jenga block detection; requirements are a decent Android phone, laptop with Android Studio and an Edge Impulse account.
