10 Emerging Technologies in Engineering, Part 1

Originality and foresight are features of superior technology. Machines that looked at the future are particularly important. Some technologies - visible and invisible - may change the way we design and manufacture the product

As with cellular technology connecting people, new communication technologies will connect the machines. With these technologies, hospitals can monitor patients as quickly as possible with ambulances and alert factories to factories through remote industrial control rooms.

One of the important technologies was 5G and we held a party at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) trade show recently held in Barcelona. This show is primarily for the latest mobile phones, but the latest IoT technology is attracting attention as well. I will explore the top 10 trends from the exhibition

1) Good-by, 4G. 5G is the successor to 4G and will appear soon. By the end of 2018, AT & T will launch a 5G network for mobile devices. This will soon be used in machinery, cars, IoT equipment, drone and infrastructure equipment. Briefly, 5G allows for long distance data calls to other mechanical and electrical devices at a higher speed than current home Internet connections. Intel, Qualcomm, Sierra Wireless showed 5 G modem, Ericsson talked about 5 G technology for IoT devices and machines. Ubimetro boasts street lights connected by 5G and the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany displays 5G security cameras that can quickly connect to a computer so that they can recognize their faces quickly

2) Block chain. Many people think block chains are the same as bit coins, but they are not. Block chains are the underlying technology that enables bit coins and can also be adapted for manufacturing. Companies such as Cisco and Nokia are looking for ways to quickly verify that they are genuine by recording timestamped data sent from sensors in the digital ledger (in the middle of the block chain). A more detailed audit trail on the block chain helps effectively manage sensors and machinery.

3) 5 G Robot NTT Docomo in Japan demonstrated a 5 G humanoid robot that reflects the behavior of the operator in real time using 5 G and executes the task remotely. NTT will also release 5G IoT devices at the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020.

4) Increase identity. The concept of "improving identity" is the key to prevent future car theft. IDEMIA is a French company wishing to bring face recognition to licensed cars. When you register your face using the system, the car will be unlocked only if you recognize your face. The technology uses sensors, position tracking and software. IDEMIA's goal is to achieve a safer shared driving culture.

Machines that looked at the future are particularly important. Some technologies - visible and invisible - may change the way we design and manufacture the product

Nano Robotics is an emerging technology field where components produce machines and robots with scales on the order of nanometers (10 - 9 meters). More specifically, nanobots (as opposed to microrobots) are nanotechnologies that design and build nano-robots with devices ranging in size from 0.1 to 10 microns, consisting of nanoscale or molecular components It refers to the field of engineering. The terms nano-robot, nanoparticle, nanoparticle, nanomachine or nanoparticle are also used to describe such devices currently under research and development.

Construction is a relatively new licensing industry that emerged in the 20th century due to rapid technological progress in the industrial revolution. Construction engineers are engineers specializing in construction work. Our world is a particularly important occupation today, as we are in a parallel revolution with two major technological revolutions: (1) rapidly evolving computer technology and (2) the need to create sustainable planets. . Construction engineers are at the forefront of these two historical opportunities

Technology as a means of progress in society is a common interest that engineers pursue. Modern engineering appeared in the 19th century, the technology of this era was almost clear and positive. In the excellent vocabulary written by the British Institute of Engineers in 1828, engineers offered "a source of great power" for "human use and convenience".
