Edge Machine Learning for the Automated Decision and Visual Computing of the Robots, IoT Embedded Devices or UAV-Drones

摘要

This paper presents edge machine learning (ML) technology and the challenges of its implementation into various proof-of-concept solutions developed by the authors. Paper presents the concept of Edge ML from a variety of perspectives, describing different implementations such as: a tech-glove smart device (IoT embedded device) for controlling teleoperated robots or an UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles/drones) that is processing data locally (at the device level) using machine learning techniques and artificial intelligence neural networks (deep learning algorithms), to make decisions without interrogating the cloud platforms. Implementation challenges used in Edge ML are described and analyzed in comparisons with other solutions. An IoT embedded device integrated into a tech glove, which controls a teleoperated robot, is used to run the AI neural network inference. The neural network was trained in an ML cloud for better control. Implementation developments, behind the UAV device capable of visual computation using machine learning, are presented.
