In this episode, we explore the future of computer vision with Tommaso Scuccato and Marco Bergamin from Videam, an Italian startup that brings AI-powered vision systems to the edge.
Videam tackles diverse challenges from ski pass fraud detection to traffic monitoring using custom-built cameras that process AI algorithms locally. Their patented technology avoids facial recognition, instead analysing patterns and features that work even when people wear goggles or face coverings.
Tommaso and Marco discuss their journey from aerospace and automotive engineering to developing polarised sensors that see through windscreen reflections, enabling applications from catching distracted drivers to industrial quality control. We explore why they chose edge processing over cloud solutions and how their partnership with Avnet accelerates hardware development.
Tune in to discover how intelligent cameras transform everyday problems into solved challenges – one frame at a time.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
