Web of Systems: Internet of Things Need Semantics
Published on Feb 29, 2016
Event Description:
Just imagine, every sensor, and every machine has its own IP address. This opens formidable opportunities, for instance, in manufacturing, building technologies, energy management and healthcare. In order to realize this vision: machines have to speak the same language. This talk will introduce a machine-centric interpretation of the Internet of Things: in a Web of Systems sensor nodes and machines will decide themselves where to process and who to share data with. The "Web of Systems" is just about to move from the lab into pilot projects. This talk will present some of the recent outcomes of the Siemens' lab in Berkeley in collaboration with UC Berkeley.
Biography:
Florian Michahelles is the head of research group at Siemens Web of Things.
Top 5 facts about the Internet of Things
Published on May 23, 2016
Because of the Internet of Things, more electronic devices are being connected to the Internet, and they're talking to each other behind your back. Welcome to WatchMojo's Top 5 Facts. Today, we’re taking a look at the Internet of Things and how it's becoming a major part of our lives, in ways you probably didn't know.
Cognitive buildings!
Published on Jul 20, 2016
The next generation of architecture won't just be smarter by design, it'll actually BE smart. Cognitive buildings are structures that utilize the internet of things to anticipate our needs. Not only that, they greatly reduce our carbon footprints by autonomously reducing energy consumption in spaces that aren't in use. No need to turn off the lights or air conditioning before you leave a room! Beyond that, cognitive buildings can keep us healthier and safer by strategically controlling air flow and air pressure around those who might be carrying contagious pathogens, and can alert us to maintenance needs before they become expensive or even deadly system failures.
Programmable shape-shifting materials
Published on Sep 27, 2016
Using two types of hydrogels, researchers created programmable shape-shifting materials that can transform without an external stimulus. The method could be used for designing autonomous actuators, drug-release systems and active implants.

Ray Kurzweil predicts when we'll be able to program matter
Published on Jun 2, 2017
Ray Kurzweil is an inventor, thinker, and futurist famous for forecasting the pace of technology and predicting the world of tomorrow.
In this video, Kurzweil predicts when he thinks we’ll get programmable matter—or the ability to manipulate everyday objects at the atomic level—and what that means not just for the things around you, but for you as a person.
According to Kurzweil, beginning with virtual reality in the digital realm and moving into the physical with programmable matter, people will make themselves into avatars of other people, or even each other.
