Edge AI

Many companies face challenges regarding how AI can be integrated into small devices to enable real-time decision-making. How can product intelligence and energy efficiency be improved? By combining cutting-edge research with industry-oriented applications, RISE helps companies tackle these challenges – and turn them into competitive advantages.

Seamless Integration of AI in Smart IoT Devices

RISE collaborates with global leaders such as Husqvarna and Assa Abloy to bring advanced AI into connected consumer products like robotic lawn mowers. By developing specialized AI toolchains, we enable efficient deployment in resource-constrained embedded systems, unlocking new levels of intelligence and performance in small devices.

This work strengthens Sweden’s position as a global AI leader and provides industry with the frameworks needed to accelerate both industrial and consumer IoT innovation. At RISE, we act as a trusted advisor — helping companies transform technological challenges into long-term competitive advantage.

The Combination of Edge Computing and 5G Networks

Together with DeLaval International AB, Bodens Utveckling AB, Edeva AB, and Avassa Systems AB, RISE is establishing a collaborative forum centered around four testbeds. The goal is to accelerate the development of next-generation communication networks and advanced digital applications.

By combining the high speed and coverage of 5G networks with the real-time capabilities of edge computing, we enable rapid data processing close to the source — essential for applications such as autonomous driving and industrial automation.

Through fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange between researchers, industry, and the public sector, this initiative advances cutting-edge digital solutions and the communication infrastructure of the future. In doing so, it strengthens Sweden’s capacity for innovation and global competitiveness in digitalization and technological development.

RISE provides organizations with tailored pathways to enhance their capabilities in edge AI — enabling them to stay ahead in an increasingly intelligent and connected world.

RISE offers organizations multiple ways to accelerate their edge AI journey. For those seeking tailored support, we deliver direct assignments where our research expertise is applied to the client’s unique needs and context. We also provide packaged services designed to meet the demands of both private and public sector organizations.

For companies and institutions aiming to lead in responsible AI, RISE enables participation in national and EU-funded research projects — advancing the state of the art while contributing to open, publicly available results that strengthen the broader innovation ecosystem.
