Bringing humans and machines even closer with sensors and AI

As AI, communication, and sensor technology continues to advance, machines are becoming more capable of acting intelligently in a way that takes the five senses into consideration. Machines are transforming from mere tools used by humans, into robots that make decisions and operate autonomously. In the near future, these robots will coexist and cooperate with humans to bring abundance and efficiency to life, industry, and society. Many organizations including companies, research institutes, and universities are now using autonomous machines to expand our physical and mental abilities, in an attempt to provide us with the ability to do work that we would otherwise be unable to do on our own. In this series, we introduce some technologies helping to create new relationships between people and machines, and discuss how advanced machines will impact life, industry, and society.

Super-Five Senses Created by Combining and Utilizing Sensors and AI

Information that could not be captured by the five senses of humans has become detectable with the evolution of sensors and the increase in sophistication of artificial intelligence (AI). We are now in the process of acquiring perception called the super-five senses with the assistance of machines. We explain here the development of technologies that will realize the super-five senses and the utilization of them.
