Our approach considers the optimization of algorithms, whilealso addressing safety and security challenges that arise in such systems. We propose a modular and scalable cognitive IoT hardware platform that leverages microserver technology, allowing users to customize hardware configurations to suit a broad range of applications. We provide a comprehensive design flow for developing Next-Generation IoT devices that can collaboratively solve complex Deep Learning applications across dis- tributed systems. Our methods have been thoroughly tested on diverse use-cases, ranging from Smart Home to Automotive and Industrial IoT appliances. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in significantly reducing energy consumption while maintaining high performance in Deep Learning applications. Overall, this work contributes to advancing the development of energy-efficient and scalable Deep Learning for distributed AIoT applications, providing an important step towards enabling the deployment of intelligent systems in diverse real-world scenarios.engEnergy-efficient Deep LearningDistributed AIoT applicationsModular cognitive IoT hardwareMicroserver technologyNext-Generation IoT devicebook parthttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-38344-1_9
