Online As artificial intelligence continues to move closer to the edge, new challenges and opportunities emerge across the entire technology stack, from hardware design to real-world deployment.
This new IPCEI ME/CT webinar brings together leading experts from research and industry to explore how Edge AI is being developed and applied today, through complementary perspectives covering hardware, optimization, and applications.
The session will feature three talks:
NEUROPULS: Neuromorphic Energy-Efficient Secure Accelerators Based on Phase Change Materials Augmented Silicon Photonics
Fabio Pavanello (CNRS / NEUROPULS)
This talk will present the NEUROPULS project, which aims to develop secure, energy-efficient neuromorphic accelerators using integrated photonics and phase change materials, opening new perspectives for low-power Edge AI systems.
Hardware-Aware AI Perception Inference Optimization for Automotive Compute Devices
Michael Beyer (Bosch Research)
This presentation will provide insights into neural network optimization methods for efficient and robust AI inference on embedded automotive systems, with a focus on hardware/software co-design.
Edge AI in Energy: Solar Power Nowcasting from Sky Images in Practice
Terézia Fialová (Mycroft Mind)
This session will showcase a real-world application of Edge AI, focusing on deep learning models deployed on edge devices for solar energy forecasting using sky images.
By covering the full value chain, from physical layer innovations to application-level deployment, this webinar provides a comprehensive overview of current developments in Edge AI. The session will conclude with a live Q&A, offering participants the opportunity to engage directly with the speakers
