Welcome to the Department of Intelligent Embedded Systems

Everything is Embedded

Embedded computer systems are omnipresent in everyday life, often without us even noticing their presence. Computers are nowadays incorporated into a vast variety of objects, ranging from a coffee machine over a car to a person’s heart pacemaker. However, to improve these systems they require an ever growing amount of resources.
The Intelligent Embedded Systems department (IES) focuses on research, development and advancement of such ‘invisible’ computer systems. We specifically aim to create resource constrained but intelligently acting devices in the Internet of Things.

Core Aspects of our Research

The goal of the Embedded Systems research group is to develop algorithms, concepts and procedures to develop networked embedded systems. Examples include the so called Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber-physical Systems (CPS) or Industry 4.0.  Currently our research consists of the following core aspects:

  • Embedded Machine Learning
  • Programming Adaptive Embedded Systems
  • IoT Deployment and the Edge
  • Embedded Security
