AI-on-skin - On-body AI inference for artificial skin interfaces

Clearly, there has been an increasing use of neural network based inference integrated with current artificial skin sensors in various applications ranging from robotics to health monitoring. However, due to a lack of on-skin compute, current skin sensors have to rely on off-body computers such as phones and cloud servers, for compute. This causes a significant slowdown in real time response.

We are working on developing AI-on-skin - a wearable artificial skin interface integrated with a neural network hardware accelerator that can be reconfigured across diverse neural network models and applications. AI-on-skin is designed to scale to the entire body, comprising tiny, low-power, accelerators distributed across the body. AI-on-skin is highly configurable, can run diverse neural networks, and support multiple applications.
