CES Asia focused on three major themes: connectivity, innovation and the Internet of Things (IoT). More than 200 exhibitors from 16 countries represented 14 product categories —3-D printing, automotive, content and online, green technologies, health, home entertainment, lifestyle, mobile, robotics, smart home, sports and fitness, video/4K Ultra HD, video gaming and wearables. Over the three days, more than 20,000 attendees and 1,200 members of the media attended the event, which showcased some of the latest innovations and technologies entering the Asian marketplace. The conference also included a packed schedule of speakers from leading Chinese and global brands in consumer electronics, data analytics, advertising and technology. The industry leaders and technologists in attendance shared views that were overwhelmingly optimistic about a future in which connected devices will make our lives easier. The convergence of the cloud, IoT (sensing devices) and Big Data analytics will allow companies to provide customized services based on a customer’s profile and context. We’ll have connected homes—powered by artificial intelligence (AI)—that turn on the AC just in time to accommodate our arrival back from work and smart cars that will turn commuting time into free time. Even though both of these technology areas have yet to face the user adoption test, the prevailing opinion is that we’re not too far away from the connected future. Some of the devices showcased at CES Asia 2015 proved this point. At the end of this report, we highlight some of the companies whose exhibition booths we visited during the show, as well as the devices that won the show’s innovation awards. Conference Sessions and Industry Movers: Key Takeaways • The car Is the largest mobile device • Intel is as much a communications company as it is a computing company • IBM wants to be the architect of the IoT data infrastructure • IoT issues and bottlenecks include security and data scientists • Companies need to be on Twitter to connect with the digital audience • In the future, humane robots will take over our daily tasks • The world of retail will shift to a pay-per-use business model • Indiegogo is a great, global go-to-market solution for “makers” (do-it-yourselfers who design and build their own technologies and products) Fung Business Intelligence Centre (FBIC) publication: CES asia 2015 recap Copyright © 2015 The Fung Group, All rights reserved. 1 May 30, 2015 The Car Is the Largest Mobile Device One thing that stands out when looking at the exhibitor list and keynote lineup of CES Asia is the considerable focus on car companies. Audi, Cadillac, Ford, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen all showcased technological innovations at the event, while the pre-event opening keynote was delivered by Rupert Stadler, CEO of Audi. Stadler’s presentation clearly explained why the conference has such a heavy focus on cars. He said that we’ll live in a connected world and that it’s up to us to decide whether we want to get changed by it or drive the change ourselves. He then revealed that in 2017, Audi will release the first car available to the public with piloted driving, the Audi A8. That means we’re only two years away from seeing self-driving cars on the roads and that cars will become a lot more than just transportation vehicles. As Stadler said, “The car will be the largest mobile device.” Intel Is as Much a Communications Company as It Is a Computing Company Following Stadler’s opening keynote, Intel’s Kirk Skaugen showcased some of the company’s technology that will serve as the backbone of the IoT world. According to Skaugen, by 2020 there will be 50 billion connected devices and more data than there are stars in the Milky Way. Three main drivers underpin this trend: • Further advances in personal computing, which will make computing power faster, cheaper and smaller; • The need for new experiences, such as immersive, 360-degree video in 4K, wireless charging and wireless display, and computing without passwords; and • The proliferation of sensory wearable devices that connect and compute. Skaugen showcased multiple Intel-powered devices that illustrate these drivers in action. For example, in the personal computing category, he displayed an all-in-one device (TV, laptop, tablet) and a 2-in-1 device (laptop, tablet) that incorporate substantial computing power with slick design. He also showed multiple examples of technologies that provide new user experiences, including a magnetic resonance wireless charging device and an eye recognition technology developed by Intel and EyeSmart. In terms of Intel-powered wearables, Skaugen highlighted the Curie and the Edison, tiny computers that can go into practically any wearable device. The Edison-powered intelligent Spider Dress lifts its mechanical limbs up to an attack position if someone approaches the wearer too aggressively. The second keynote of the first day was delivered by IBM’s D.C. Chien and Scott Burnett. The presentation served to fill in the remaining part of the IoT picture that was left blank after Intel’s keynote. In the connected world, data will be captured at the device level from devices with significant sensor and computing capability. Then, the data will be uploaded to the cloud, where it will be processed by Big Data analytics in order to be turned into actionable insights that enhance the user experience. Fung Business Intelligence Centre (FBIC) publication: CES asia 2015 recap Copyright © 2015 The Fung Group, All rights reserved. 2 May 30, 2015 Naturally, Burnett focused on the data analytics component and highlighted IBM’s capabilities in the field. He also discussed a study that IBM conducted on 1,000 businesses. The study defines Generation D enterprises as companies that are data rich and driven by predictive/prescriptive analytics. The study predicts that Generation D companies are the ones that will be winning in tomorrow’s market. Source: IBM Source: IBM IoT Issues and Bottlenecks: Security and Data Scientists Deborah Kan of The Wall Street Journal moderated a panel discussion on “The Impact of the Internet of Things,” featuring experts from IBM and Accenture and input from WiWide, a Chinese company that provides wireless Internet solutions. Here are some of the key points the panel made: • Every major customer of Accenture is exploring IoT. • Every CEO must have an IoT strategy and every industry will need one. • IoT will optimize after-sale services; it will allow consumer electronics companies to really understand how appliances are used by each customer. • Security is the one issue everyone is nervous about. • The bottleneck for the technology is going to be the people analyzing the data. • The real winner in the world of IoT is the consumer.

Rao opened an engaging talk by highlighting China’s increasing relevance in the digital world. He pointed out that almost half of the world’s Internet users are located in China and that the country accounts for 37% of social media users globally. Furthermore, he noted that these numbers are expected to increase as China’s economy and middle class continue to expand at a rapid pace. Rao then described the new digital world and how governments and companies can use Twitter as a platform to connect with their audiences in a new way. He elaborated that digital messaging on Twitter has to be: • Relevant—live communication of something that’s important in this moment • Public—communication that is conversational in nature and open to anyone to respond to • Creative—communication that is engaging When it possesses these three characteristics, communication on Twitter becomes the digital equivalent of word-of-mouth advertising, as users retweet to their networks content they like, approve of, or find interesting and relevant. Content on Twitter is also global in nature, which is why companies can use the platform to connect with people beyond the geographies where they’re doing business. Rao pointed out that companies can further leverage Twitter to understand what customers want and need in real time. As evidence, he stated that last year there were 53.9 million tweets starting with the phrase “I want” or “I need,” an indication of consumers’ unmet desires and preferences. In the Future, Humane Robots Will Take over Our Daily Tasks The second event we attended that day was a panel discussion moderated by JD.com’s Chief Technical Advisor, Dennis Weng.

    1 OCTOBER 2015 – THE LANCASTER, LONDON www.investorallstars.com #investorallstars 1 Welcome 2015 – The Year ofthe Unicorn! If last year was defined by a series of high-profile exits, 2015 has seen a shift towards entrepreneurs raising vast rounds of capital for long-term growth. No longer are our talented entrepreneurs satisfied with $100 million trade sales. Many are choosing to stay independent for longer and create global leaders of unprecedented scale. The European digital ecosystem will look back on this as ‘The Year of the Unicorn’ – the moment when European unicorns started reaching globally competitive valuations. Our audience tonight has played a major role in nurturing the $40 billion+ companies charging across Europe, and it is fantastic to see mega-funds such as KKR, General Atlantic, TCV and BlackRock now entrenched as a core part of the funding chain for fast-growth companies. Our standout companies are reaching scale faster than at any point in history – with the often-cited five years for Uber to create $10 billion of value vs 15 years for Microsoft to create $1 billion being replicated by our audience tonight – HelloFresh, BlaBlaCar, Spotify, Klarna, Avito, Funding Circle, JUST EAT… To support these disruptors, the funding ecosystem needs to evolve, and while we have many parts working efficiently, we still witness a strong dependence on the US for $50 million+ expansion rounds. Within five years I would love to see us pulling together to allow our star entrepreneurs the choice of raising locally or overseas. It is vital that we become better at raising awareness for some truly great achievements.

  • Deliberative Perception
    Deliberative Perception Venkatraman Narayanan CMU-RI-TR-17-67 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Robotics The Robotics Institute Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15213 Thesis Committee Maxim Likhachev, Chair Martial Hebert Siddhartha S. Srinivasa Manuela M. Veloso Dieter Fox, University of Washington August 2017 COPYRIGHT © 2017 VENKATRAMAN NARAYANAN ii Abstract A recurrent and elementary robot perception task is to identify and localize objects of interest in the physical world. In many real-world situations such as in automated warehouses and assembly lines, this task entails localizing specific object instances with known 3D models. Most modern-day methods for the 3D multi-object local- ization task employ scene-to-model feature matching or regression/classification by learners trained on synthetic or real scenes. While these methods are typically fast in producing a result, they are often brittle, sensitive to occlusions, and depend on the right choice of features and/or training data. This thesis introduces and advocates a deliberative approach, where the multi-object localization task is framed as an optimization over the space of hypothesized scenes. We demonstrate that deliberative reasoning — such as understanding inter-object oc- clusions — is essential to robust perception, and that discriminative techniques can effectively guide such reasoning. The contributions of this thesis broadly fall under three parts: The first part, PErception via SeaRCH (PERCH) and its extension C-PERCH, formu- lates Deliberative Perception as an optimization over hypothesized scenes, and devel- ops an efficient tree search algorithm for the same. The second part focuses on accelerating global search through statistical learners, in the form of search heuristics (Discriminatively-guided Deliberative Perception), and by modulating the search-space (RANSAC-Trees).

  • Artificial Intelligence in Internet of Things
    CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology Review Article ISSN 2468-2322 Artificial intelligence in Internet of things Received on 6th July 2018 Revised on 27th September 2018 Accepted on 8th October 2018 doi: 10.1049/trit.2018.1008 www.ietdl.org Ashish Ghosh ✉, Debasrita Chakraborty, Anwesha Law Machine Intelligence Unit, Indian Statistical Institute, 203 B.T. Road, Kolkata 700108, West Bengal, India ✉ E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Functioning of the Internet is persistently transforming from the Internet of computers (IoC) to the ‘Internet of things (IoT)’. Furthermore, massively interconnected systems, also known as cyber-physical systems (CPSs), are emerging from the assimilation of many facets like infrastructure, embedded devices, smart objects, humans, and physical environments. What the authors are heading to is a huge ‘Internet of Everything in a Smart Cyber Physical Earth’. IoT and CPS conjugated with ‘data science’ may emerge as the next ‘smart revolution’. The concern that arises then is to handle the huge data generated with the much weaker existing computation power. The research in data science and artificial intelligence (AI) has been striving to give an answer to this problem. Thus, IoT with AI can become a huge breakthrough. This is not just about saving money, smart things, reducing human effort, or any trending hype. This is much more than that – easing human life. There are, however, some serious issues like the security concerns and ethical issues which will go on plaguing IoT. The big picture is not how fascinating IoT with AI seems, but how the common people perceive it – a boon, a burden, or a threat.

This paper talks about the Intelligent robotic Arm (IRA) which is able to cook food dishes in an ordinary home environment. The robotic arm recognizes the utensils and ingredients required for the particular recipe. For object detection we have developed a system using OpenCV and Python which helps the robotic arm to recognize the correct ingredient and pick and drop it to appropriate utensil for cooking the required recipe. It involves automated tasks which the arm has to perform while commands are given to it for making the particular recipe. Our motivation is to help brilliant supplier robots that work by and large human environments ,automating continuous errands. In quest for this objective, we follow the universal apply autonomy worldview, in which savvy observation and control, are blended in with ubiquitous processing. By misusing sensors and effectors in its condition, a mechanical can work extra confused obligations other than turning out to be excessively perplexing itself.

  • Introducing the Potential Impact of Robotics and Service Automation in Tourism
    “Ovidius” University Annals, Economic Sciences Series Volume XVII, Issue 1 /2017 R-Tourism: Introducing the Potential Impact of Robotics and Service Automation in Tourism Papathanassis Alexis Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences, Germany [email protected] Abstract Robotics and artificial intelligence are expected to reach their ‘tipping points’ over the next decade. Digitalization and service automation are already visible in the tourism sector, raising questions on their wider impact on the industry and the holiday-experience per se. Numerous application examples and cases of those technologies across the entire holiday value-chain are outlined and their diffusion drivers are discussed. Apart from providing a typology for R-tourism applications, this paper makes a strong case for the incorporation of this interdisciplinary area into mainstream tourism research. Key words: tourism, service, robotics, automation J.E.L. Classification: L83, D73 1. Introduction: Henn Na Hotel – A Robotic Theme-Park or the Beginning or a New Era The concept of ‘Henn Na Hotel’ (http://www.h-n-h.jp/en/) in Japan underlines a commitment to introducing state-of-the art technologies in order to maximise excitement, efficiency and comfort for the guests. Amongst other innovations (e.g. voice- and face-recognition), this hotel is mainly staffed by robots. The reception is staffed by 3 multi-lingual robots (one of which is a talking dinosaur), responsible for greeting, checking-in and assisting guests. At the cloakroom, a robotic arm stores luggage, and porter robots carry them to the rooms. A standard room, accommodating 2 guests, costs between approx. €80 (Weekdays) and €250 (Weekends / Holidays) per night.

    ELEG/CPEG 480- Capstone Design Project II Project Members Yousef A Al-Mousa S00030889 Rawan sajit S00036925 Sara N Rafat S00031271 Hessa K Alabdulmun'em S00034725 Project Supervisor(s) Dr. Seyed Esmaeili Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering AMERICAN UNIVERSITY of KUWAIT May, 19, 2019 0 Abstract Conveyors are durable and reliable components used in automated distribution and warehousing. In combination with computer-controlled pallet handling equipment, this allows for more efficient retail, wholesale, and manufacturing distribution. It is considered a labor- saving system that allows large volumes to move rapidly through a process, allowing companies to ship or receive higher volumes with smaller storage space and with less labor expense. The purpose of Conveyor belt in our project is to organize and sort the food into its storage place before cooking. We propose a robot system, which cooks meals through an available menu connected through network in an iPad. There will be sensors in the robot that will control the water level in the pot and another sensor during the cooking. The two ideas of having an organizer and an achievable robot achieving meals combined to reduce the time and effort of many employees in the restaurant to have a better social environment for both the customers and workers. The motivation behind this project is to create meals. Nowadays, because of people crammed schedules, people tend to resort to fast food instead of preparing healthy meals at home, which leads to the alarming increase of obesity and type 2 diabetes rates. Basically, our idea is a cooking robot with a plc stray programmer.
