DIGIPREDICT — Digital Twins for predicting disease progression and need for early intervention

Digital twins give fresh insight into the world around us

Digital twins are computer-based models of an object or even a human organ, and the technology behind them is advancing at a rapid pace. EPFL will host a series of talks and seminars on this topic at its Digital Twin Days on 15 and 16 November. An ideal opportunity to learn more about the work EPFL (…)

David Atienza takes part in panel discussion at IFIP60

To celebrate its 60th Anniversary, the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) is joined with its Member Societies, Technical Committees, Working Groups and Partner organisations to stage a series of events around the world. Prof. David Atienza took part in a panel discuission about Trends on Computing Systems, which was organised and moderated by Graziano (…)

ESL collaborates with IMD to teach course on IoT technologies

The Embedded Systems Lab is collaborating with IMD (The Institute for Management Development) of Lausanne to create an online course about technology and the Internet of Things. This MOOC (Massive open online course) will be taught by David Atienza, Prof. Amir Aminifar of Lund University, formerly a Senior Lecturer at ESL, and Prof. Bettina Buechel (…)

A flexible in-memory computing architecture for heterogeneously quantized CNNs

Droople: cutting edge solutions for water-energy conservation

In June 2021, Droople entered a partnership with the Embedded Systems Laboratory (ESL) at the School of Engineering and the ALTIS Group (Valais) to implement the joint Research and Development project WaSTeLeSS. The project is planned to run until 2023 and achieve significant water savings in buildings through an advanced monitoring system based on distributed intelligence.  (…)

Full Presentation: Self-aware anomaly detection for epilepsy monitoring

Farnaz Forooghifar presents our research on self-aware anomaly detection for epilepsy monitoring on low-power, wearable electrocardiographic devices.

Thermosyphon – a true Innovation

Innovations developed by our lab have been analysed by the European Commission’s Innovation Radar (see mission statement). One of the researchers involved, Arman Iranfar, explains this ground-breaking technology. Nowadays, data centers with large rooms are filled with a huge number of servers and other IT equipment that account for around 2% of the global energy (…)

Digipredict digital twin will predict the evolution of Covid-19

Under a cross-disciplinary program spearheaded by EPFL, scientists will develop an AI-based system that can predict whether Covid-19 patients will develop severe cardiovascular complications and, in the longer term, detect the likely onset of inflammatory disease. Covid-19 comes with a range of symptoms – from a sore throat and the loss of taste to more (…)

Deep Learning Algorithms Helping to Clear Space Junk from our Skies

EPFL researchers are at the forefront of developing some of the cutting-edge technology for the European Space Agency’s first mission to remove space debris from orbit. How do you measure the pose – that is the 3D rotation and 3D translation – of a piece of space junk so that a grasping satellite can capture (…)
