Low-resolution infrared (IR) array sensors represent an interesting solution for privacy-preserving human sensing in embedded systems. In this letter, we describe a smart multi-pixel IR sensor integrating a 16$\times$16 thermal MOSFET (TMOS) array and a RISC-V microcontroller extended with low-precision SIMD instructions, capable of on-device learning and continual adaptation for pose and gesture recognition tasks under tight memory and power constraints ($<$32kB on-chip memory, $\approx$1.

arXiv:2607. 03089v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: HAR is increasingly expected to run continuously on edge devices, yet recent LLM-based methods remain hard to deploy: raw sensor prompts are long, cloud inference adds latency and privacy risk, and fine-tuned LLM pipelines turn general-purpose models into task-specific classifiers.
