Tata AIG General Insurance Company - Insurer Innovation Award 2024
SB11 - HP - Peter Hartwell
1. The Impact of Technology on our Sustainable Future Peter Hartwell Hewlett-Packard
2. Peter Hartwell, Ph. D. HP Labs, Intelligent Infrastructure Lab The Impact of Technology on our Sustainable Future CeNSE Central Nervous System for the Earth
6. Sensing changes the game Aware Things “We are out of bread, but we have waffles. Oh, and the Chinese food from last week has gone bad.” “If you clean me, I will be 20% more efficient” Hey toaster, is my breakfast ready?
9. Driving technology for wireless sensing Sensor development at HP Dog uses dog door at rear of structure (unconfirmed) Residents awake on upper floor garage door water pipe sensor door
10. Not just the total, but the information to change Beyond the Smart Meter Vibration/Motion Sensing Electricity Consumption Data Disaggregation Water Consumption HP in-home network and signal processing platform
12. 1 radio, 1 processor 9 sensors ! Cost, size power – through integration Vibration Tilt Air Flow Light Biological Rotation Navigation Temperature Moore’s Law for sensors = One node type Chemical Humidity Sound Pressure Everything! What to sense?
13. Smart buildings Monitor the office Sensor Integration Sound Humidity Sense more than you expected Awareness to get to real problem IF you can afford – size, cost, POWER Vibration Light Pressure Air Flow Temperature
15. Find more energy or use less energy Energy 14% of all electricity in US is lighting
16. Reducing our impact on the planet Moving forward Internet as a brain – blind, deaf, numb Deploying and training sensors to be aware Opportunityfor awareness of impact on planet Sense, Network, Compute, Act Merging of data from varied sources Traditional sensors Wireless sensors Social media Improve Safety, Sustainability, Security The next technology age

IntegrationNetworkingInternet enabled the communicationOf what? Human generated data – banking, shopping, blogs, pictures, email
Sensors in the building, but primitiveCars are closed systems – sensors have greatly changed safety and sustainabilityCommoditized sensors spilled into consumer electronics – smart phone, games, laptops
Allows devices to become awareand communicate with us
Route planning optimizedGarbage can tells it is full – emptying based on information, not scheduleVending machine needs service based on inventoryYou can access the vending machine inventory – where are they not out of diet coke?
Sensing needs development to enable low power, wireless networksHPs accel is very sensitive. Listens to my heartbeat
Sensing the heartbeat of your home How are you using resources
Meter gets me to look at power and changeHouse gets smarter and changes itselfSensing versus actuationPlaces where knowing what is happening is enough, versus can you do something about it?First step is getting a human to do something (like first use of internet – human generate data)Next step is automating the response
Integration in electronics enabled the smart phone
Sensor revolution requires integrationResults will be one sensor nodes that can do it all
All purpose sensor node measures what you want – temp control of officesBut also can get to core of problem you didn’t think you needed to sense office is warm because of the windows – fix window cover, not bigger AC
Safety, sustainability, securityApplications where you will spend your $$ (personal or corporate) because tipping point allows thing to be on netSafety – bridge healthSustainability – energy usageSecurity – becomes alarm system
Energy – find new sources OR use less14% of electricity in USCan we make light switch obselete?Must be as reliable and un-annoying as the light in my frig – it just works, and only when needed.
