Consensus is growing that the next decade will see the expansion of Digital Twins applications in many areas as well as their extension in capabilities. Let’s consider two examples related to new fields of application, one in healthcare that is in the process of applying Digital Twins to include humans …

Digital Twins are relatively new, less than 20 years old, but in these last 5 years they have moved from a research idea to practical industrial application. In these last two years they have started to be used, or considered, in a much broader slate of applications from healthcare to …

The reasoning I have followed has pointed so far to the evolution from a reality “out there” to a digital reality that is being created and that we can perceive in various ways using technology. Furthermore, as technology becomes more and more advanced, both in the creation and in the …

I pointed out how the Symbiotic Autonomous Systems Initiative foresees a seamless “adsorption” of the cyberspace –and of smart machines- in our perceived reality space. Actually, the Initiative foresees a convergence that results in a symbioses of humans and machines but if we look at this from our –human- standpoints …

A parallel FDC IEEE Initiative, started at about the same time as Digital Reality, the focus was on the augmentation of machines that is happening at the same time as augmentation of humans (and I just finished a number of posts on that), the Symbiotic Autonomous Systems Initiative. Here the …

Human Machine Symbiosis My personal bet, and the conclusion of the study carried out in 2018 by the IEEE-FDC Symbiotic Autonomous Systems Initiative, is that by 2050 it will be difficult to separate living from non-living things. Notice that today there is still a debate going on among those considering …

We are likely the only species that have the capability of extending our phenotype (at least in such a significant way). We learn, and what we learn change who we are. We learn from books, from experience and from being immersed in a specific culture. More recently we have created …

Awareness You can’t be smart without understanding the context you operate in and the very first step is becoming aware of what is going on. You need to sense your environment. The vision of a world that can be understood by scattering sensors all around was articulated by HP in …

The big issue, facing today companies and organisations alike, is how to jump on the Digital Transformation bandwagon without disrupting their ongoing business. Starting from scratch is simply not an option if you have a company. You need to leverage on your company’s assets using them as a springboard. This …
