As a part of the Russian delegation the representatives of Moscow Technological University with Dmitry A. Akimov, Head of the Information Systems laboratory IKBSP, among them, attended the International Exhibition of Information and Telecommunication Technologies CEBIT-2017 in Hanover (Germany) on March 20-24. The Russian delegation worked with the assistance of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.
The main thematic sectors of the CEBIT-2017 Exhibition:
- artificial intelligence;
- big data and data mining;
- production equipment and electronics;
- electronic trading and bank decisions;
- communications and networks;
- infrastructure of data-centers;
- researches and innovations;
- safety of society and business;
- virtual and augmented reality.
At the same time SAP showed at the exhibition that it also works in the field of Society 5.0, developing the idea of Japanese superflexible sensors. SAP proposed software solution for, for example, the control of the state and health of the bus driver for passengers’ safety: the uniform shirt supplied with sensors fixes temperature, pressure and other physical indicators, further in real time this information is transferred to the base and analyzed. Also, SAP demonstrated the solutions for earthquakes prediction, calculation of damage caused to buildings, and wildfires and landslides forecasting.
The IBM big stand presented Olli – the autonomous production vehicle LocalMotors which is the first city bus without a driver that uses IBM cloudy technology - Watson. Olli uses the special Watson version for automobile applications, including the following API (advanced passenger information): Speech to Text, Natural Languages Classifier, Entity Extraction, Text to Speech. All of them allow to improve the interaction between the passengers and the vehicle. It is supposed that this city bus will be used generally for school students, prompting at what stop it is time to leave, and for elderly people: the sensors located in the bus will distinguish the person’s voice (in the future, perhaps, the image as well), the system will keep the information on where from and where to the person goes, and give prompts in order not to get lost.
Dmitry Aleksandrovich tells that at present Germany and Japan are taking the leading positions in automotive industry. Further, they will develop cooperation in the sphere of driverless cars (the car without driver). The developments of the Complex Safety and Special Instrument Engineering Institute in the field of control safety and solution of emergency situations interested the representatives of IBM and Nissan. Being in the lead in medicine, both Germany, and Japan answer the question about what needs to be done for the senior generation whose share steadily increases. Japan passed the stage of the present-day Germany about 10 years ago. Therefore, studying its experience, Germany considers this country as "laboratory of the future". And in the third branch, in total, it is possible to designate it as "industrial production", both countries successfully solve problems of automation and robotization of production.
Agreements with Fraunhofer University were made.
Being guided by specific vital and working scenarios, Fraunhofer showed the usefulness of applied researches. Research experience in the field of machine training, the Internet and information security shows how they can be used jointly.
