Keynote: Enabling Zero Power Pervasive Intelligence for Sustainable Sensing
Speaker: Kasım Sinan Yıldırım (University of Trento)Abstract: How can we unlock the potential of embedded intelligence, the leading disruptive technology today, by combining it with batteryless computing—the future of eco-friendly, energy-autonomous systems? Unlike conventional battery-powered platforms, batteryless edge devices are extremely resource- and energy-constrained, posing a substantial challenge for enabling zero-power embedded intelligence. In this talk, I will delve into this challenge by outlining the essential problems regarding three main pillars forming a batteryless intelligence ecosystem: hardware architectures, intelligence algorithms, and networked solutions. I will also explore potential future avenues of research to overcome these limitations, paving the way for a zero-power, pervasive intelligence ecosystem.
Biography: Kasim Sinan Yildirim is an Associate Professor at the Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science, University of Trento, Italy.
