AI for Emerging Verticals: Human-Robot Computing, Sensing and Networking (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781785619823)

Traditional markets were horizontal whereby a company would sell hard drives to any business that needed them. By specializing in a vertical market, companies can better understand their customers and bring more insight to clients to become an integral part of their business. But this approach requires dedicated tools. This is where Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine learning (ML) will play a major role for the support of predictive strategies, enhanced capabilities, better interactions with customers, and streamlining their business processes. Amazon, Google, IBM, Microsoft, etc. already offer such dedicated services. This edited book explores novel concepts and practices, cutting edge research and developments, with the long term and sustainable goal of designing fully automated advanced digital systems fostered by the technological advancements of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for a broad range of applications in robotics, human computing, sensing and networking.
