X-HEEP community is growing fast: X-Agora at EPFL
The Internet of Things is expanding at an incredible rate, and consequently demands for ever smaller intelligent hardware are constantly increasing. The Embedded Systems Lab has collaborated with other EPFL teams and EcoCloud to design X-HEEP: a RISC-V chip which is aimed at tiny platforms with big jobs to do. The X-HEEP platform is open (…)
epiPhone – discretely monitoring brain activity
We are proud to present epiPhone, a discreet headset which can monitor brain activity and transmit the data in real time. Today, epilepsy is one of the most common chronic diseases affecting more than 65 million people worldwide. However, no reliable wearable device currently exists for real-time epileptic seizure detection. One of the main challenges (…)
