How The Artificially Intelligent Building Will Guide Your Experience
After a hectic day you finally arrive at the hospital to visit your nephew, Billy, who’s recovering from a broken arm after a skateboarding accident. Out of breath and a bit flustered you approach the reception where the desk bot says “Hello Mr. Smith, the Doctor is in with Billy at the moment so you […]
One Building’s Data Exhaust May Be Another’s Actionable Data Intelligence
In the world of smart homes, buildings and cities, we collect far more data than we use. Considerable time and effort is spent designing computer programs that sift through this mass of data to find useful nuggets of information that allow us to develop actionable intelligence. Then we spend significant amounts of money creating storage […]
HIKVision Partners with Movidius Bringing Neural Networks to Video Surveillance
There are huge “gains to be made when it comes to neural networks and intelligent camera systems”, declared Hu Yangzhong, CEO of Chinese firm Hikvision, last week. Hikvision has struck a deal with US machine vision firm Movidius to bring greater levels of machine learning to their video surveillance cameras. Through the deal, Hikvision’s next […]
Development of the IoT and MicroGrids Fuel each others Expansion
Microgrids have grown to over 1.2 gigawatts (GW) in capacity, with future projections reaching 20GW by 2020 and 100GW by 2030, that is according to Andres Carvallo, CEO of CMG, a consultancy that advises on smart grids and other infrastructure. Carvallo told attendees at the Smart Cities Week 2016 conference in Washington, D.C. last week […]
The Future Office Could Be Virtually Anything You Want It To Be
What is an office building? Is it a physical structure made of bricks and mortar, glass and steel, or is it a place that companies utilize to bring all their staff together to facilitate the smooth operation of their organization? Is it both or could it be neither? This month Gartner’s annual Hype Cycle for […]
Leading Software Firms Race To Create Smart Home Assistants
“Siri, what’s your favourite movie?” you may ask your iPhone one rainy day, who would reply (half the time), “I’ve heard that ‘Blade Runner’ is a very realistic and sensitive depiction of intelligent assistants.” The fact that we can ask our phones this question, the style of answer, and the example used, all reveal a […]
“Unleashing Synergies Between Human And Machine Intelligence” Memoori Speaks To MIT’s Carlo Ratti
The smart city and wider smart technology sector, like many new sectors, is made of many pioneering converts from its founding industries as well as a new generation of experts born into the field. Few, however, blur the lines between these two groups, and perhaps none more so than MIT professor Carlo Ratti. An architect […]
Smart Buildings & Cities Create Perfect Proving Grounds For Deep Learning
The Internet of Things (IoT) has brought about the opportunity to establish a new architecture for Smart Buildings that decentralizes systems and pushes analytics processing to the “edge”, or sensor unit, rather than the cloud or a central server. This ‘Edge’ or ‘fog’ computing provides real-time intelligence and enhances system agility while simultaneously offloading the […]
