Concept and Challenges in Microcontroller Artificial Intelligence Development

There is a significant lag between the year a great idea is first proposed and the year it is eventually adopted and mainstreamed. The foundations of the Internet of Things (IoT) were introduced between 1960 and 1980, the concept was introduced in 1990, and its growth and expansion came after 2000. Proliferation and discussions on standardization were proposed after another 10 years. IoT evolution and development are tightly coupled to cloud-fog-edge architectures with the assumption that a significant amount of advanced processing occurs not on IoT devices but on clouds and fog. However, as the technology evolved, the required amount of data and connections indicated that previous ideas and concepts were not realistic and that data processing at the edge layer was required.
