Edge computing is creating new possibilities in Internet of Things (IoT) applications. To create the AI foundations for future products in the edge IoT domain, the EU-funded ANDANTE project aims to leverage innovative IC (integrated circuits) accelerators based on artificial and spiking neural networks in order to build strong hardware and software platforms for application developments. Moreover, the resulting IoT devices will combine extreme power efficiency with robust neuromorphic computing capabilities. By achieving efficient cross-fertilisation between major European foundries, chip designers, system houses, application companies and research partners, the project will build and expand the European ecosystem around the definition, development, production and application of neuromorphic ICs. The project’s work will promote innovative hardware and software deep-learning solutions for future IoT at the edge products that combine extreme power efficiency as well as robust and powerful cognitive computing capabilities.
