Circuits and Systems for Efficient Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence

Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications require the use of more and more advanced algorithms for extracting meaningful information from increasingly (and sometimes incredibly) large sets of data. While the algorithmic part has recently seen significant advances (as for instance through the adoption of Deep or Convolutional Neural Networks), it sometimes comes at the cost of high computational complexity which hinders their straightforward implementability. This activity aims at advancing in this direction by: proposing architectures to reduce the computational cost

AI-enabled UAVs and Multimodal Monitoring for Protected and Controlled Environment (PACE)

This project aims to utilize advanced technologies for UAVs to enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and responsiveness of crop monitoring and management within the diverse PACE settings. The primary objectives revolve around employing a fleet of micro-UAVs equipped with cameras and LiDAR sensors to capture high-resolution images and 3D point clouds and perform multi-layered AI analysis. While cameras offer visual insights into surface-level plant health and characteristics, LiDAR provides deeper insights about plant physical attributes for a more comprehensive crop assessment.

Circuits, Systems, and Algorithms for Low-power Signal Processing in IoT Nodes Implementation

In the IoT paradigm the low-power signal processing, either analog of digital, is a key-enabling technology. Many unconventional processing techniques, either based on a statistical analysis or not, have been introduced in the effort of being able to complete a task with the lowest possible energy. A first example is given by the Compressed Sensing, an acquisition technique which relies on the sparsity of the underlying signals, to enable sampling below the classical Nyquist rate. The advantages with respect to the above “classical” technique is to transfer complexity from the acquisition
