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.

The paper presents a novel multi‑exit computational scheme for TinyML on an ultra‑low‑power GAP9 SoC, adding confidence‑based gating points to a MobileNetV2 CNN for ImageNet‑100. By allowing inference to stop early, the approach cuts average MAC operations by 41 % (from 313 MMAC to 185 MMAC), reduces inference time by 29 % (49 ms to 35 ms), and saves 24 % in energy (2.1 mJ to 1.6 mJ per frame) with only a ~1 % drop in accuracy. Compared to a state‑of‑the‑art adaptive CNN on the same hardware, the method more than doubles computational efficiency, raising MAC/cycle from 8.1 to 17.2.
