Duke University researchers are investigating the new solution, known as Wireless Smart Edge networks (WISE). The study was conducted in collaboration with MIT Research Laboratory of Electronics. It was published in Science Advances.
As drones scan forests, robots manage warehouses, and sensors monitor city streets, more of the world's decision-making is taking place autonomously at the edge - on small devices that collect data at the endpoints of much bigger networks.
But making the transition to edge computing is tricky. Artificial intelligence (AI) models become larger and more intelligent every day, but the technology within these devices remains small.
