Abstract
The emergence of smart cities has resulted in the increasing use of IoT devices for environmental monitoring, intelligent transport, public safety, energy control, and healthcare applications. Nevertheless, the perpetual streaming of sensor data to cloud servers creates high energy costs, latency, communication overhead, and privacy issues. TinyML is a novel paradigm that allows for AI inference in small edge devices that operate with a power budget of only a few milliwatts. In this paper, we present an extensive study of TinyML hardware architectures towards sustainable smart city applications. Our framework combines low-power microcontrollers, edge AI accelerators, efficient communication components, and renewable energy harvesting technologies for enabling on-the-fly inference at the edge of the network. The analysis shows that compared to traditional cloud-based AI systems, the energy consumption and latency can be reduced by up to 70% and 90%, respectively, while reducing network traffic by 80% and increasing the lifetime of sensor nodes by more than 300%.
