Radar, AI, and Edge Computing in Focus: Highlights from the AIDA4Edge Webinar

The webinar “Radar-based Edge AI Applications“, organized as part of the AIDA4Edge project, was successfully held on July 29, 2025. The online event brought together researchers and professionals engaged in advanced radar sensing, artificial intelligence, and edge computing technologies.

The webinar was opened by Prof. Jelena Nikolić, who welcomed participants and emphasized the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in developing next-generation intelligent systems.

The program featured three technical talks from experts affiliated with IHP – Leibniz Institute for High Performance Microelectronics, each offering a unique perspective on the integration of radar and AI technologies:

  • Rizwan Tariq SyedHand Gesture Recognition using mmWave FMCW Radar

A deep dive into how high-frequency radar can be used for accurate and robust gesture recognition at the edge.

  • Muhammad NaumanBridging Radar and Wireless: OTFS in Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC)

An exploration of Orthogonal Time Frequency Space (OTFS) modulation and its potential in unifying sensing and communication tasks

  • Vladica SarkRadar Sensing and Evolution Towards Integrated Sensing and Communication

A broader look at how radar technology is evolving toward fully integrated systems that combine environmental sensing and data communication

The presentations were insightful and engaging, offering valuable perspectives on the latest advancements. The follow-up discussions were inspiring, reinforcing the collaborative and innovative spirit at the core of the AIDA4Edge project. We sincerely thank all speakersandparticipantsfor making this event a success.
