DESCRIPTION
Self-driving cars, drones, household robots, smart devices etc.. A perfect storm is emerging. But what will the next hype be called? Smart Machines is a strong contestant for the next hype. In 2004 it was Social Media, in 2007 Cloud Computing was coined and in 2011 everybody started talking and writing about Big Data. Four years have passed and year 2015 calls for the next hype building on top of existing ones. Enter Smart Machines.

Innovations are the key● Most important innovations will be
combinatory innovations*● Creative destruction will face those not
willing or able to take action

Cloud Computing is the brains behind Smart Machines
The Role of Cloud Computing● Cloud Computing is an enabler of Smart Machines
“Imagine a robot that finds an object that it's never seen or used before—say, a plastic cup. The robot could simply send an image of the cup to the cloud and receive back the object’s name, a 3-D model, and instructions on how to use it”J. Kuffner, Google
IEEE: Jan 2011, http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/robotics-software/cloud-roboticswww.smartmachines.fi
Advanced Analytics provides wisdom to Smart Machines
The Role of Big Data● Analytical capabilities provided by cloud services are
evolving fast“Dremel can scan 35 billion rows without an index in tens of seconds. Dremel, the cloud-powered massively parallel query service, shares Google’s infrastructure, so it can parallelize each query and run it on tens of thousands of servers simultaneously. You can see the economies of scale inherent in Dremel. An Inside Look at Google BigQuery

The Role of Big Data● Advaced Analytics helps to model and predict the
future“Machine learning–mining historical data with computer systems to predict future trends or behavior–touches more and more lives every day. Search engines, online recommendations, ad targeting, virtual assistants, demand forecasting, fraud detection, spam filters–machine learning powers all these modern services. But these uses barely scratch the surface of what's possible. Microsoft Azure Machine Learning

Drones - soon flying everywhere
https://www.sensefly.com/drones/ebee.html
No piloting skills requiredThe eBee takes off, flies and lands autonomously.
The artificial intelligence incorporated in the senseFly autopilot continuously analyzes data from the Inertial Measurement Unit and the onboard GPS and takes care of all aspects of the flight mission.

Jibokickstarter project, shipping 2015
What is Jibo? It’s a little pod with a motorized swivel, equipped with cameras, microphones and a display. It recognizes faces and voices, and can act as a personal assistant by setting reminders, delivering messages and offering to take group photos. It also serves as a telepresence robot for video chat.Time.com

IBM SyNAPSE chip● Computer chip imitating the
brain (introduced in Aug 2014)
IBM: http://www.research.ibm.com/cognitive-computing/neurosynaptic-chips.shtml
The architecture can solve a wide class of problems from vision, audition, and multi-sensory fusion, and has the potential to revolutionize the computer industry by integrating brain-like capability into devices where computation is constrained by power and speed.

Internet of ThingsThere are 50 to 500 billion connected devices in 2020
IDC, General Electric
Intel Edison● Remember Raspberry Pi?
● Intel Edison takes tiny computers to the next level
● It can be the brains of almost any device (width is only 35 mm)
Intel: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/do-it-yourself/edison.html
The Intel® Edison development platform is the first in a series of low-cost, product-ready, general purpose compute platforms that help lower the barriers to entry for entrepreneurs in the Internet of Things (IoT).
