Artificial intelligence in embedded systems
Artificial intelligence has found its way into many areas to make systems more precise and reliable than previous manually optimized algorithms. One common method is machine learning, which learns to solve predefined tasks on its own based on a large database. But for artificial intelligence to enrich the end application, it must be embedded. A particular challenge here is to compress the networks so that they can be completely computed in the end devices.

Assistive Robotics
Many people strive for a long, self-determined life within their own four walls. However, the care crisis means that human care in the home is becoming increasingly rare. As an alternative, KIT is researching assistive robots that help elderly people to cope with everyday life at home. Important aspects for increasing their acceptance are short response times and personalization of the services. For this purpose, ITIV is researching suitable hardware accelerators with low latencies and a high degree of privacy.
