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.
In the EdgeVision research network, Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences is working with partners from industry and science to develop an innovative edge platform for the use of artificial intelligence directly at the point of data collection - fast, energy-efficient and without a permanent internet connection.
Using artificial intelligence directly where data is generated - without detours via data centers or cloud services: This is the goal of the Rubin alliance EdgeVision, in which the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences (HSZG) is involved as a research partner. Together with companies and scientific institutions, the consortium is working on the development of a powerful edge platform for mobile applications and intelligent field devices.
The core of the project is the development of an energy-efficient chip with integrated AI functionality. In combination with optimized sensors and special optics, the result is a platform that can process data directly on site. This enables applications that work independently of a permanent internet connection and at the same time meet high data protection and reaction speed requirements.
Under the leadership of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Knut Meißner, the HSZG is contributing its expertise in particular to 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 created at the university to bundle research, demonstration and knowledge transfer relating to modern AI and visualization technologies.
With its participation in EdgeVision, the HSZG is opening up a pioneering field of research at the interface of artificial intelligence, microelectronics and digitalization. At the same time, the project strengthens the region's innovative power and creates new points of contact for companies wishing to integrate AI technologies into their products and processes.
At the end of May, the alliance partners met at the lead company Raycics in Dresden to present the progress of the project to date and discuss the further strategic direction of the collaboration.
