About Fido

Fido is an open-source, modular C++ machine learning library engineered specifically for embedded systems and robotics applications. It enables developers to deploy intelligent algorithms directly on resource-constrained edge devices without relying on heavy frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch. The library features a modular architecture allowing developers to select only required components, minimizing memory footprint and computational overhead. Fido supports common ML algorithms including neural networks, decision trees, clustering, and regression—all optimized for real-time performance on microcontrollers and ARM processors. When deployed through AiDOOS, organizations gain enhanced governance, streamlined integration with robotics platforms, automated optimization for target hardware, and scalable management of edge ML deployments across distributed device networks. AiDOOS accelerates Fido adoption by providing marketplace orchestration, vendor validation, and operational oversight for enterprise-grade edge intelligence solutions.
