Presentazione tenuta al "4° Dauin Lunch Seminar" al Politecnico di Torino il 16/05/2018. Video: https://youtu.be/r-_HszuwKRY Abstract: Gli ambienti intelligenti (Smart home, Smart building, Smart city, Smart car) vengono proposti come sistemi che aiutano gli utenti nelle loro attività quotidiane, andando loro incontro in modo trasparente e intelligente, proattivo ed efficiente, evitando di infastidirli o di compiere azioni contrarie alla loro volontà. Gli ambienti intelligenti, basati su tecnologie IoT, hanno raggiunto una enorme complessità in quanto integrano sensori e machine learning, architetture distribuite ed interfacce tangibili, protocolli di comunicazione e analisi dei dati. Nella ricerca delle miglior soluzioni per la miriade di problemi che un ambiente intelligente deve gestire, i ricercatori del settore IoT si sono concentrati spesso sugli aspetti più tecnologici, dimenticando o abbandonando le aspettative, i bisogni ed i desideri degli utenti. Nel seminario ragioneremo sulle “mostruosità” che questa disattenzione ha generato sugli utenti, sia dal punto di vista della ricerca che dei prodotti di mercato, e discuteremo in merito agli aspetti metodologici e progettuali che è necessario recuperare.

"The most profound technologies are
those that disappear. They weave
themselves
into the fabric of everyday life until
they are indistinguishable from it."
Mark Weiser
Able to infer a situational context:
- from environment data
- from user data (identity,
presence, actions, …)
- from statistics and preferences
- from external information
sources
Able to adapt to the context, by
means of the interpretation of
sensing and the generated
response

26. Quiz
DAUIN Lunch SeminarHumans vs IoT26
 What is the difference between an enchanted house (or
castle) and a haunted one?

27. Quiz
DAUIN Lunch SeminarHumans vs IoT27
 What is the difference between an enchanted house (or
castle) and a haunted one?
 Both are autonomous in performing some actions
(playing music, controlling doors and windows, providing
food and entertainment, etc.)
 Both could be powered by similar intelligent systems

28. Quiz
DAUIN Lunch SeminarHumans vs IoT28
 What is the difference between an enchanted house (or
castle) and a haunted one?
 Difference lies in user perception
actions of an enchanted house
are expected, desired and
welcomed by the user, in a
proactively friendly environment
the haunted space will execute
actions contrary to the will of
the user, who will feel trapped by
an hostile entity

51. Internet of Things and Humans
DAUIN Lunch SeminarHumans vs IoT51
 IoT systems should include acting on the user-perceivable
part of the environment
 Otherwise it’s not a «smart» home/building/car/city/…
 Users should close the loop of the intelligent algorithms
 They must feel connected and feel in control
 Consider user needs and requirements
 More technology is not always the answer
 Research is not going in the ‘right’ direction
 Industry is not going in the ‘right’ direction
