Aimed at improving system efficiency, the study uses object detection so each lighting pole becomes aware of its surroundings and can adapt to the environment. The proposed approach upgrades poles with radar, microphone, and camera sensors and applies multimodal machine learning to enhance detection versus unimodal baselines. The resulting model is deployed on an edge device installed on-site to address privacy and reduce network latency.","Edge-Enabled Multi-Agent System Architecture for Multimodal Machine Learning  \nEduardo Benjam im Lopes UMinho | 202 3 Coelho  \nEduardo Benjamim Lopes Coelho  \nEdge-Enabled Multi-Agent System Architecture for Multimodal Machine Learning  \nOctober 2023  \nEduardo Benjamim Lopes Coelho  \nEdge-Enabled Multi-Agent System Architecture for Multimodal Machine Learning  \nMaster Dissertation  \nMaster in Informatics Engineering  \nDissertation supervised by  \nVictor Alves  \nHugo Peixoto  \nOctober 2023  \nDECLARATION  \nName: Eduardo Benjamim Lopes Coelho  \nDissertation Title: Edge-Enabled Multi-Agent System Architecture for Multimodal Machine Learning  \nSupervisors: Victor Alves, Hugo Peixoto  \nConclusion Year: 2023  \nMaster Designation: Master in Informatics Engineering  \nI declare that I grant to the University of Minho and its agents a non-exclusive license to file and make available through its repository, in the conditions indicated below, my dissertation, as a whole or partially, in digital support.  \nI declare that I authorize the University of Minho to file more than one copy of the dissertation and, without altering its contents, to convert the dissertation to any format or support, for the purpose of preservation and access.  \nFurthermore, I retain all copyrights related to the dissertation and the right to use it in future works.  \nI authorize the partial reproduction of this dissertation for the purpose of investigation by means of a written declaration of the interested person or entity.  \nThis is an academic work that can be used by third parties if internationally accepted rules and good practice with regard to copyright and related rights are respected.  \nThus, the present work can be used under the terms of the license indicated below.  \nIn case the user needs permission to be able to make use of the work in conditions not foreseen in the indicated licensing, he should contact the author through the RepositóriUM of the University of Minho.  \nAtribuição-NãoComercial-SemDerivações CC BY-NC-ND  \n[https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/)[ ](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/)Universidade do Minho, 16/10/2023 Signature: ANDsuasmtina:adde20Ipd3:t.
