Waggle AI – Scientific AI at the Edge
The Waggle Platform is a research project at Argonne National Laboratory to design, develop, and deploy a novel wireless sensor platform with advanced edge computing capabilities to enable a new breed of sensor-driven environmental science and smart city research.
The Waggle project started in the summer of 2013, leveraging several Argonne wireless sensor projects going as far back as 2004, when Pete Beckman and Rick Stevens taught a wireless sensor class at the University of Chicago. Pete then started a research lab for sensor networks and explored environmental sensing of data centers . Waggle was founded with internal Argonne research funds (LDRD).
The innovative architecture leverages emerging technology in low-power processors, sensors, and cloud computing to build powerful and reliable sensor nodes that can actively analyze and respond to data. Cloud computing provides elastic resources for storing and computing on data.
