Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have experienced rapid growth in both industry and academia. However, the current ML and AI models demand significant computing and processing power to achieve desired accuracy and results, often restricting their use to high-capability devices. With advancements in embedded system technology and the substantial development in the Internet of Things (IoT) industry, there is a growing desire to integrate ML techniques into resource-constrained embedded systems for ubiquitous intelligence. This aspiration has led to the emergence of TinyML, a specialized approach that enables the deployment of ML models on resource-constrained, power-efficient, and low-cost devices. Despite its potential, the implementation of ML on such devices presents challenges, including optimization, processing capacity, reliability, and maintenance. This article delves into the TinyML model, exploring its background, the tools that support it, and its applications in advanced technologies. By understanding these aspects, we can better appreciate how TinyML is transforming the landscape of AI and ML in embedded and IoT systems.
