HSZG researches AI chips for intelligent field devices
Using AI where data is generated: In the EdgeVision research network, the HSZG is working on energy-efficient AI chips for the applications of tomorrow.
As part of the EdgeVision research consortium, Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences is collaborating with partners from industry and academia to develop an innovative edge platform for deploying artificial intelligence directly at the point of data collection—quickly, energy-efficiently, and without a constant internet connection.
Using artificial intelligence directly where data is generated—without routing it through data centers or cloud services: This is the goal of the Rubin Alliance EdgeVision, in which Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences (HSZG) participates as a research partner. Together with companies and scientific institutions, the consortium is working on the development of a high-performance edge platform for mobile applications and smart field devices.
At the heart of the project is the development of an energy-efficient chip with integrated AI functionality. Combined with optimized sensors and specialized optics, this creates a platform capable of processing data directly on-site. This enables applications that operate independently of a constant internet connection while simultaneously meeting high standards for data protection and response speed.
Under the leadership of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Knut Meißner, the HSZG is contributing its expertise, particularly in the development of the edge chip, the testing of the platform for various applications, and the transfer of research results to the regional economy. In addition, a Vision Lab is being established at the university to bring together research, demonstration, and knowledge transfer related to modern AI and visualization technologies.
Through its participation in EdgeVision, the HSZG is tapping into a forward-looking field of research at the intersection of artificial intelligence, microelectronics, and digitalization. At the same time, the project strengthens the region’s innovative capacity and creates new opportunities for companies seeking to integrate AI technologies into their products and processes.
At the end of May, the alliance partners gathered at the lead company, Raycics, in Dresden to present the project’s progress to date and discuss the future strategic direction of the collaboration.
