Thesis project: Edge-AI on embedded MCU using specialized model

The potential of tiny, locally ran models, with distinct tasks, is largely unexplored. Toyota Material Handling Europe seeks an investigation into the possibilities enabled by next-generation hardware, when applied to the context of material handling vehicles. In your Master Thesis at Toyota, you will work on: Implementation of pre-trained, task-specific models on a target MCU (stm32n6). Tailoring and training of custom task-specific models Integration with existing systems to enable new functionality Collaboration with another thesis work regarding exploration of possible use-cases. Implementing and integrating into manually driven forklifts, tiny task-specific models that may be used to enable new functionality. Examples of use-cases to explore include voice-command, gesture command, pallet analysis, obstacle detection and many more. Scope 2 individuals, 30 HP.
