Connecting Embedded Intelligence

Now in its 18th year, the embedded world Conference takes up the title of one of its precursors from the 1990s. Back then "Embedded Intelligence" was rather a vision of the future.

In the meantime, embedded intelligence is becoming more and more relevant and is shaping an increasing number of systems, from autonomous vehicles, image recognition and embedded vision to preventive and needs-based maintenance in Industry 4.0 applications, and from small embedded micro-controllers to high performance Cloud servers. These developments are opening up immense possibilities and business opportunities, but they are also closely associated with a host of technical, economic, social and ethical issues.

However, “Embedded Intelligence” was already the slogan for the embedded world in 2019. We extended the focus in 2020 to “Connecting Embedded Intelligence”, as we see embedded intelligence as another major driver for the Internet of Things and for the Industrial Internet of Things.

We want to discuss the importance of artificial and embedded intelligence today and in the future with these first-class panelists. We are going to need to talk about when AI and machine learning are useful and when they are not.
