The automotive sector has adopted Digital Twins technology in the manufacturing to mirror robots in the assembly line. In the last few years it has started to create and use digital twins of the product, vehicles produced. More and more automotive companies are nowadays equipping cars (and trucks) with IoT …

A digital model is fine in the design phase. Actually we are hearing a new word: virtual twin. This is a model of a physical entity that, as a matter of fact does not exist and may never exist in the physical space. We create the “idea” of an entity …

One of the first point agreed in the group was that a Personal Digital Twin is tied to a very specific “person”, its physical entity. To what extent the PDT mirrors the physical person? Well, that basically depends on what is the expected “use” of the PDT. As an example, …

I was involved recently in a discussion promoted by EcoSurge, an initiative helping SMEs engage the sustainability transition and create value out of it via digital innovation, circular economy principles. They are planning a panel, see figure and register here, to discuss ethical design of AI-IoT Systems. It is not …

Ai has been associated to massive number/data crunching and big data, the bigger the better. The (near) future may see this sort of “top-down” AI flanked by a different sort of AI emerging in a bottom up way, different both in terms of quality and in terms of processes (i.e. …

Artificial Intelligence driving automation Many industries have adopted automation in both production, using robots – RPA: Robot Process Automation -, and document flow (process automation). This has had a significant impact on the workforce, both in terms of downsizing (activities moved from blue collars to robots and from white collars …

The evolution of healthcare in this decade will be sustained by the convergence of several technology areas, each progressing independently from one another under the pressure of demand from several markets: ambient, wearable and implantable sensors There are already millions of wearables in use that monitors some basic physiological parameters. …
