Embedding machine learning methods into the data decoding units may enable the extraction of complex information making the tactile sensing systems intelligent. This paper presents and compares the implementations of a convolutional neural network model for tactile data decoding on various hardware platforms. Experimental results show comparable classification accuracy of 90.88% for Model 3, overcoming similar state-of-the-art solutions in terms of time inference. The proposed implementation achieves a time inference of 1.2 ms while consuming around 900 μ J. Such an embedded implementation of intelligent tactile data decoding algorithms enables tactile sensing systems in different application domains such as robotics and prosthetic devices.
