EdgeAI Lab with Microcontrollers Session #1: Overview of EdgeAI Applications

📌 Session #1: Overview of EdgeAI Applications
📌 Brief introduction of different hardware and a short talk about the pipelines in edgeAI applications.

About :
MLT Edge AI Lab was formed in 2020 when a team of researchers/engineers visited a local farm in Chiba to brainstorm solutions for problems faced by local farmers. EdgeAI Lab was formed with an aim of creating an OPEN environment where anyone can experiment with tools and apply their learnings to create quick prototypes.

MLT EdgeAI Lab with Microcontrollers Weekly Series is created by Naveen Kumar and Yoovraj Shinde, to learn and share about the steps in building EdgeAI applications. We will take a look at the general steps in EdgeAI pipeline and the different hardware available to deploy the models. We will also take a look at 2 simple applications, to strengthen our understanding of data collection/ processing/building/deployment and inference.

We are looking forward to active participation from the MLT community members to build cool apps together. We will do a short brainstorming session in the end to find good ideas which we can work together throughout the series.

📌 Prerequisites

• Ideas on building an EdgeAI application.
• Basic scripting in Python and Arduino (C/C++) and basic working knowledge of TensorFlow are preferred but if you are new please check these links beforehand.
