X-HEEP spreads its wings
What started out as a doctoral challenge has grown, and blossomed into a technology shared across universities around Europe. As a doctoral student in Prof. David Atienza’s Embedded Systems Lab, Simone Machetti was tasked to build a modular, customizable, energy-efficient platform that could be shared with, and used by, different teams designing low-power devices. “I (…)
Cough-E – using edge technology to track coughs, discreetly
If a doctor wants to know how well a cough treatment is working, it can be useful to know exactly how frequently the patient has been coughing. However, a patient’s state of mind might influence the impression they have about this: whether they are happy or sad, tired or not, the patient’s estimate can never (…)
Taking EMBA on a visit to the sources of digital transformation
Participants of the EMBA program at the College of Management of Technology had the opportunity to discover a selection of the latest technologies developed in EPFL’s research laboratories. This enabled these professionals from different backgrounds to gain a better understanding of the long process between developing a cutting-edge product and bringing it to market. There’s (…)

Giovanni Ansaloni: how do you squeeze AI into power-constrained edge devices?
Dr. Giovanni Ansaloni presented a course on methodologies for algorithm optimization at HiPEAC’s ACACES24. Edge intelligence has fostered a revolution in the way information is created, analyzed and accessed, fundamentally impacting multiple fields ranging from health monitoring to augmented reality. Key to this success is the optimization of application energy/run-time/application footprints, especially in light of (…)
