Ai for New Devices And Technologies at the Edge

The fundamental goal of the ANDANTE project is to leverage innovative hardware platforms to build strong hardware / software platforms for artificial neural networks (ANN) and spiking neural networks (SNN) as a basis for future products in the Edge IoT domain, combining extreme power efficiency with robust neuromorphic computing capabilities and demonstrate them in key application areas. The main objective of ANDANTE is to build and expand the European eco-system around the definition, development, production and application of neuromorphic hardware through an efficient cross-fertilization between major European foundries, chip design, system houses, application companies and research partners, as presented by the European Leader Group (ELG). The project brings together world class expertise to bring the world class expertise and infrastructures of Imec, CEA and FhG together with semiconductor companies, fabless, system houses, SMEs and application experts to explore and demonstrate the capabilities provided by the developed technologies. In the project, several applications will be assessed in key domains where Europe is strong (automotive, digital farming, digital industry, mobility and digital life). The aim is to reinforce and maintain strong leadership in these areas by bringing industry in contact with future memory technologies at a low TRL level (MRAM, OXRAM, FeFET). These cross-disciplinary efforts will lead to development of innovative hardware / software deep learning solutions, based on high TRL level RRAM/PCM and FeFET, to enable future products which combine extreme power efficiency with robust cognitive computing capabilities. This new kind of computing technology, combining ANN and SNN capabilities, will open new perspectives, for instance, environmental monitoring, and wearable electronics.
