Intelligent systems have rapidly evolved over the past few years, to a point where they have begun to seamlessly integrate with industry and everyday life. Combining advanced sensors with technologies such as artificial intelligence, computer vision and speech recognition software, robotics and more has enabled us to better assess and enhance the systems our society has grown to rely upon.
From applying real-time health monitoring to aircraft engines to utilizing sensors to create a truly intelligent robotic vacuum cleaner that maps and memorizes, integration of intelligent systems will continue to have an increasing impact on our lives. In a world that runs on energy, using sensors to establish a lithium ion battery management system could ensure our devices operate in a more efficient and reliable way with a much longer cycle life. It may not be long before we even see smart roadways that utilize sensors to determine real-time traffic flow and facilitate the harvesting of kinetic energy wasted by vehicles to generate power.
This talk discussed these examples of intelligent systems and their related sensors.
