Signal's headline

(max. 9 words)
The use of sophisticated (autonomous, floating, sensorised) mini-robots, embedded in an Ambient Intelligence infrastructure for research in environment.

Signal's description

(approx. 150 words)
Please describe the Weak Signal (approx. 150 words)
The robots in this research, as part of an Ambient Intelligence platform, integrate sensors for monitoring and tasks execution, communications, and databases technologies (including knowledge discovery in databases (KDD)) capabilities and the data sent back to human. This technology enables far more accurate and sensitive result on environment research and could be potentially used in researches where direct human observation is not possible. What makes this Weak Signal interesting? Other, please specify: advance in research

Keywords

Signal's first apperance

2005-now

Under what assumption the Weak Signal might evolve.

It is a sign of a potential wild cards (i.e. large risks or opportunities). Sophisticated robot for research with potential use beyond environmental research --including social research: observation for ethnography; security: spying; environmental design: living conditions, etc.
