AI SKILLS · Hardware & electronics

Deploy and check ML on embedded devices

Train, compress and deploy small models to microcontrollers, and measure accuracy, latency and power on the device.

Advanced

Why this skill matters

Edge models lose accuracy when quantised and behave differently on real sensor data than in training.

What to learn

  • Collect and label representative sensor data
  • Quantise a model and measure on-device accuracy and latency
  • Plan monitoring and updates in the field

Before you begin

Basic Python and embedded development

PUT IT INTO PRACTICE

Build a work sample

Build a keyword-spotting or vibration model, deploy it to a dev board, and compare on-device results with the training metrics.

Evidence of progress

A short report with on-device accuracy, latency, memory use and known failure cases.
