AbstractThe broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project lies in advancing distributed artificial intelligence (AI) for predictive maintenance of instruments/vehicles used in manufacturing, aerospace, agriculture, and transportation. Instead of transmitting raw sensor data via an always-on, power-hungry communications link to the cloud - which can introduce cybersecurity risks — distributed AI enables secure, fast, and ultra-low-power monitoring
