Recent technological developments in sensors, edge computing, connectivity, and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have accelerated the integration of data analysis based on embedded AI capabilities into resource-constrained, energy-efficient hardware devices for processing information at the network edge. Embedded AI combines embedded machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) based on neural networks (NN) architectures such as convolutional NN (CNN), or spiking neural network (SNN) and algorithms on edge devices and implements edge computing capabilities that enable data processing and analysis without optimised connectivity and integration, allowing users to access data from various sources. Embedded AI efficiently implements edge computing and AI processes on resource-constrained devices to mitigate downtime and service latency, and it successfully merges AI processes as a pivotal component in edge computing and embedded system devices. Embedded AI also enables users to reduce costs, communication, and processing time by assembling data and by supporting user requirements without the need for continuous interaction with physical locations. This book provides an overview of the latest research results and activities in industrial embedded AI technologies and applications, based on close cooperation between three large-scale ECSEL JU projects, AI4DI, ANDANTE, and TEMPO. The book’s content targets researchers, designers, developers, academics, post-graduate students and practitioners seeking recent research on embedded AI. It combines the latest developments in embedded AI, addressing methodologies, tools, and techniques to offer insight into technological trends and their use across different industries.

This book explores the role of Embedded AI in revolutionising industries such as healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, retail. It begins by introducing the fundamentals of AI and embedded systems and specific challenges and opportunities. A key focus of the book is developing efficient and effective algorithms and models for embedded AI systems, as embedded systems have limited processing power, memory, and storage. It discusses a variety of techniques for optimising algorithms and models for embedded systems, including hardware acceleration, model compression, and quantisation. - Explores security experiments in emerging post-CMOS technologies using AI, including side-channel attack-resistant embedded systems - Discusses different hardware and software platforms available for developing embedded AI applications, as well as the various techniques used to design and implement these systems - Considers ethical and societal implications of embedded AI vis-a-vis the need for responsible development and deployment of embedded AI systems - Focuses on application-based research and case studies to develop embedded AI systems for real-life applications - Examines high-end parallel systems to run complex AI algorithms and comprehensive functionality while maintaining portability and power-efficiency This reference book is for students, researchers and professionals interested in Embedded AI, and relevant branches of computer science, electrical engineering, or artificial intelligence.

Edge AI is transforming the way computers interact with the real world, allowing IoT devices to make decisions using the 99% of sensor data that was previously discarded due to cost, bandwidth, or power limitations. With techniques like embedded machine learning, developers can capture human intuition and deploy it to any target--from ultra-low power microcontrollers to embedded Linux devices. This practical guide gives engineering professionals, including product managers and technology leaders, an end-to-end framework for solving real-world industrial, commercial, and scientific problems with edge AI. You'll explore every stage of the process, from data collection to model optimization to tuning and testing, as you learn how to design and support edge AI and embedded ML products. Edge AI is destined to become a standard tool for systems engineers. This high-level road map helps you get started. Develop your expertise in AI and ML for edge devices Understand which projects are best solved with edge AI Explore key design patterns for edge AI apps Learn an iterative workflow for developing AI systems Build a team with the skills to solve real-world problems Follow a responsible AI process to create effective products

Deep learning networks are getting smaller. Much smaller. The Google Assistant team can detect words with a model just 14 kilobytes in size—small enough to run on a microcontroller. With this practical book you’ll enter the field of TinyML, where deep learning and embedded systems combine to make astounding things possible with tiny devices. Pete Warden and Daniel Situnayake explain how you can train models small enough to fit into any environment. Ideal for software and hardware developers who want to build embedded systems using machine learning, this guide walks you through creating a series of TinyML projects, step-by-step. No machine learning or microcontroller experience is necessary. Build a speech recognizer, a camera that detects people, and a magic wand that responds to gestures Work with Arduino and ultra-low-power microcontrollers Learn the essentials of ML and how to train your own models Train models to understand audio, image, and accelerometer data Explore TensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers, Google’s toolkit for TinyML Debug applications and provide safeguards for privacy and security Optimize latency, energy usage, and model and binary size
