Smart environments Sample Clauses

Smart environments. Smart environments identify embedded sensor and actuator systems networked by wireless Internet, with the capabilities to sense, elaborate, and communicate. They are conceived to be installed in many different environments, such as homes, cars, factories, buildings, offices, shops, hospitals, open spaces, etc. In the future, networks and end-systems will be merged together (Cloud) and will integrate passive and intelligent sensing devices, to provide information about their environment and their user, sensory-motor devices, to act based on their perception of the environment, and pure actuators, to perform actions based on information gathered by some other devices and/or background knowledge. In this sense, smart environments are really suitable to integrate pervasive computing with pervasive robotics, thus allowing the Internet to exchange not only information but also action. It is expected that smart environments will be characterized by many research challenges in the fields of embedded systems, Internet of things, mobile communications, intelligent user interfaces, intelligent sensor networks, augmented cognition, and ambient intelligence.
