Examples
Today, there are prototypes of smart systems as well as smart systems that have reached the state of commercial products. In this context, three generations of smart systems can be distinguished. Examples of 1st generation smart systems are object recognition devices, driver status monitoring systems and multifunctional devices for minimal invasive surgery. 2nd generation smart systems include active miniaturised artificial organs like artificial cochlea or artificial pancreas, advanced energy management systems, and environmental sensor networks. 3rd generation smart systems will combine technical “intelligence” and cognitive functions. In the context of the “Internet of Things” they will provide the indispensable interface between the virtual and the physical world.
