Energy- and data-efficient methods for environment perception in embedded AI systems

Focus topic: Artificial Intelligence
Type of funding: Project funding programmes

  • TU Kaiserslautern

How much pre-programmed knowledge, for example in the field of agricultural science, does an AI need in order to better classify observations? An interdisciplinary research team at the TU Kaiserslautern is dealing with these and similar questions.

Goals

The aim of the project is to improve the perception of the environment in AI systems. In the project, various AI systems, for example for observation, care or maintenance, are being examined in different application areas. Through pre-programmed knowledge in certain subject areas, they should process the acquired information more effectively. Reduced data volumes and more effective processing in AI systems could favour decentralised processing in so-called edge computing. In the project, this is being researched in the application fields of "Smart Factory" and "Smart Farming".
