Unlock the secrets of edge computing and on-device learning with Elias Cereda, a trailblazing PhD student at the Dalle Molle Institute for Artificial Intelligence in Italy, as we explore the transformative potential of AI in nano-UAV technology. Discover how Elias is pioneering solutions to the challenges of domain shifts in AI models, particularly those trained in simulations and deployed in real-world scenarios. From enhancing privacy and security through on-device learning to mastering the intricacies of human pose estimation for autonomous navigation, this episode is a treasure trove of insights. We dive into the practicalities of deploying systems using the Crazyflie 2.1 drone alongside GreenWaves' sophisticated RISC-V GAP8 and GAP9 chips, all while managing tight power constraints.
Take a closer look at the complexities of on-device and online learning with Elias as we delve into the nuances of continual learning. Learn how maintaining a balance between retaining previous knowledge and integrating new data is crucial in the field. Elias introduces us to a self-supervised metric that operates without initial labels, cleverly utilizing odometry data to refine model predictions. By considering human movement as measurement noise and refining data through post-processing techniques, the episode unveils strategies to enhance model performance without explicit tracking.
For those eager to delve deeper into the methodologies discussed, Elias points to a comprehensive paper that promises to enrich your understanding of this cutting-edge technology.
