VEDLIoT Open Call is now active!

VERY EFFICIENT DEEP LEARNING IN IOT – TEACHING THE IOT TO LEARN

The Next-generation AIoT applications – VEDLIoT-Open Call is now active! The VEDLIoT-Open call for cascaded funding is foreseen to explore new opportunities by extending the application of the VEDLIoT platform to a more extensive set of new and relevant use cases. It is expected that open call projects leverage VEDLIoT technologies for their own AI-related IoT use case, thereby broaden the VEDLIoT use-case basis and help making the overall concept more robust.

Objectives

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to take shape, promising widespread automation and data exchange, one of the biggest challenges is to act on the data generated. The amount of data collected is huge, the computational power required for processing is high, and the algorithms are complex.

The EU-funded VEDLIoT project develops an IoT platform that uses deep learning algorithms distributed throughout the IoT continuum. The proposed new platform with innovative IoT architecture is expected to bring significant benefits to a large number of applications, including industrial robots, self-driving cars, and smart homes. The project offers an Open Call at project midterm, incorporating additional VEDLIoT-related industrial use-cases in the project, increasing the market readiness of the VEDLIoT solutions.
