Abstract
The availability of modern technologies allows an individual to no longer have to deal with boring, repetitive tasks. Each of us much prefers to spend our time online or real contact with friends or how he spends his free time differently than he devotes it to performing routine and repetitive daily tasks (for example, laundry care, food preparation and storage, ...). People's expectations for ever-increasing automation of tasks are rising and moving to areas where they have not been present until now, which means opening up excellent market opportunities for the development of smart self-adaptive technologies for appliances and devices that can address users' desires for an ever-shrinking range of routine tasks. As part of the project, in a consortium of companies and research institutions, based on in-depth research and development, we will realize a global technological breakthrough in the field of creating self-adaptability of household appliances. The developed solutions will enable household appliances to detect and recognize key parameters by themselves and then automatically adjust their operation using advanced technologies. The user will be largely relieved of setting up and managing the devices. In the future, the quality of living will be unimaginably higher with such devices in certain segments, especially given the limitations we are used to at the current level of technology. The developed solutions will also enable connectivity to the wider ecosystem of smart homes and, more broadly, to the ecosystem of smart cities.
Significance for science
The developed solutions will enable household appliances to detect and recognize key parameters by themselves and then automatically adjust their operation using advanced technologies. The user will be largely relieved of setting up and managing the devices. The quality of living with such devices of the future will be unimaginably higher in certain segments given the limitations we are used to at the current level of technology. The developed solutions will also enable connectivity to the wider ecosystem of smart homes and, more broadly, to the ecosystem of smart cities. The basis of any device's self-adaptability are three systems: a detection system, an advanced control system, and a process execution system. In the detection system, we will identify the change in the measured quantity with the help of sensor systems. Information about the measurement will be forwarded to the advanced control system, where a change in the operation of the device is made based on the algorithm with the help of actuators. The technologies developed within the project will enable the development of smart devices, which will be especially relevant for devices that will be connected to the IoT (Internet of Things). The described technologies will also enable greater personalization of devices and their adaptation to the wishes of each individual.
