Get Ready for Intelligent Real-Time Systems

In fact, it is already here and unfortunately, embedded system engineers have been caught off-guard and snoozing. As you might have guessed, I'm not talking about the internal revenue service but Intelligent Real-time Systems (IRS). Intelligent Real-time Systems are microcontroller-based devices that have the ability to learn to use data by running a resident, artificial intelligence algorithm (AI). There have always been two different ways that teams could leverage artificial intelligence in their products. The first, and the most realistic for the last decade, has been to execute the AI algorithms in the cloud.
