Motivation

We are a research group dedicated to advancing the development and practical application of Artificial Intelligence at the network’s edge, where users and devices operate. Our work focuses on creating scalable, sustainable, and secure AI systems distributed on edge devices with limited capabilities, backed by powerful clouds and supercomputers, enabling robust decision-making and enhanced privacy. By combining AI innovation with edge computing, we aim to create smarter environments hosting and operating innovative industrial applications from social media, smart cities, medicine, finance, and more.
