# Welcome to the AI-on-the-edge-device

Artificial intelligence based systems have become established in our everyday lives. Just think of speech or image recognition. Most of the systems rely on either powerful processors or a direct connection to the cloud for doing the calculations there. With the increasing power of modern processors, the AI systems are coming closer to the end user – which is usually called **edge computing**.
Artificial intelligence-based systems have become established in our everyday lives. Just think of speech or image recognition. Most of the systems rely on either powerful processors or a direct connection to the cloud for doing the calculations there. With the increasing power of modern processors, the AI systems are coming closer to the end user, a concept known as **edge computing**.
In this project, edge computing is demonstrated through a practical example, where an AI network is implemented on an ESP32 device, hence: **AI on the edge**.
This project allows you to digitize your **analog** water, gas, power and other meters using cheap and easily available hardware.
This project allows you to digitize your **analog** water, gas, power and other meters using cheap and readily available hardware.
All you need is an [ESP32 board with a supported camera](https://jomjol.github.io/AI-on-the-edge-device-docs/Hardware-Compatibility/) and some practical skills.

### Flashing the ESP32
Initially you will have to flash the ESP32 via a USB connection. Later updates are possible directly over the air (OTA using WIFI).
