A Rapid Pipeline for Training and Deploying ML Models on WeBe Band

The paper presents a rapid pipeline for training and deploying machine‑learning models on the WeBe Band, a wrist‑worn wearable device. It automates the creation of hardware‑efficient models, integrates with the Piccolo AI ecosystem, and supports OTA deployment while profiling latency and memory usage. Experimental results show trade‑offs between classical models and lightweight neural networks for real‑time performance on a microcontroller.

On-Device Inference versus Wireless Streaming: Energy-Efficient Multi-Modal Deep Learning for Wearable Cardiovascular Patches

arXiv:2510. 18668v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Wearable cardiovascular sensor patches promise continuous, unobtrusive monitoring, but their tight energy, memory, and compute budgets make it unclear whether physiological signals should be analyzed on the device or streamed to the cloud for processing.

Edge AI on Constrained Devices for Binary Sleep-Wake Classification in Dynamic Environments

This paper introduces an Edge AI system that classifies sleep and wake states on constrained devices using a multimodal pipeline on an ESP32‑S3 microcontroller. It fuses inertial head‑movement sensing with visual pose classification, running in parallel under FreeRTOS to meet real‑time constraints. The two‑stage detection achieves 96.5 % accuracy for motion‑based detection and 89 % for pose classification, proving robust binary sleep‑wake classification in mobile scenarios.

Investigating Target Class Influence on Neural Network Compressibility for Energy-Autonomous Avian Monitoring

The paper explores how the number of bird species (target classes) affects the compressibility of neural networks for passive acoustic monitoring on microcontroller units (MCUs). By training and compressing models with varying class counts, the authors show that significant compression can be achieved with minimal performance loss. They also benchmark different hardware platforms and assess the feasibility of deploying energy‑autonomous monitoring devices.
