Teaching the internet of things to learn

Autonomous vehicles and devices for intelligent homes are becoming increasingly complex. A new system based on machine learning is being designed to make the soft- and hardware used for these applications more robust, powerful, and energy-efficient. The new project VEDLIoT is being funded by the European Commission, with approximately eight million Euro over the course of three years. The project is coordinated by Bielefeld University's CoR-Lab. In an intelligent home - a "Smarthome" - residents have devices at their fingertips that are designed to make lives easier: imagine a refrigerator that re-orders food when it is running low, and can, at the same time, communicate with the oven.
