The session highlighted the significance of bringing AI computation close r to the data source and demonstrated practical techniques used in modern embedded and IoT-based systems.\n\nThe workshop covered:\n\n1. The worksho p introduced the fundamentals of Edge AI\, highlighting its advantages ove r cloud-based models and showcasing real-world applications in smart devic es\, robotics\, healthcare\, and Industry 4.0.\n\n2. Common edge hardware platforms such as Raspberry Pi\, NVIDIA Jetson\, Google Coral TPUs\, and m icrocontroller-based ML boards were discussed\, with emphasis on their cap abilities and limitations.\n\n3. Model-optimization techniques—including quantization\, pruning\, and converting models into lightweight formats l ike TensorFlow Lite and ONNX—were explained for efficient deployment on low-power devices.\n\n4. Hands-on demonstrations allowed students to work with TinyML and edge-deployment tools\, practicing inference execution\, s ensor data handling\, and power-efficient AI design.\n\n5. Practical appli cations such as real-time object detection\, keyword spotting\, anomaly de tection\, and sensor-driven AI solutions were showcased.\n\n6. Key conside rations related to security\, latency\, speed\, memory\, and power consump tion were discussed to help attendees understand the trade-offs in Edge AI system design.\n\nPSG COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY\, PEELAMEDU\, COIMBATORE\, Ta mil Nadu\, India\, 641004 LOCATION:PSG COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY\, PEELAMEDU\, COIMBATORE\, Tamil Nadu\, India\, 641004 ORGANIZER:ieeesc12951@psgtech.ac.in SEQUENCE:4 SUMMARY:AI ON THE EDGE URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/527245 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><div class="WordSection1">\n<p class="MsoBody Text" style="text-align: justify\; line-height: 115%\; margin: 10.55pt 36. 7pt .0001pt 36.6pt\;"><span lang="EN-US">The <em style="mso-bidi-font-styl e: normal\;">AI on the Edge </em>workshop provided participants with a com prehensive understanding of how Artificial Intelligence can be deployed on edge devices to enable fast\, efficient\, and scalable real-time processi ng.
