Next Generation: Apartment of the Future Concept Design

CADDZOOM

The design of the apartments have evolved in the last few years, and will continue developing with technology advancements. The apartment of the future is a complete new concept, it pervades and enhances as the architects and designers adopt new styles and feats.

Below listed are a few technologies that are comprises to define apartment of the future:

Delivery Drones

These drones can drop off packets and other utilities into another apartment safely and securely. This technology will lower down the use of elevator system as it will help people in delivering things to another resident’s apartment with the help of drone.

Robotic Parking

It will become an essential feature within the apartments as the site size will decrease, and automatic parking will make systematic sequencing of cars while saving valuable space and time. As a part of robotic parking, drone landing pads will be also used so that cars can be transported vertically outside the building to the right parking location. The car drivers will then be able to instruct parking with the touch of a smartphone app.

Self-Driving Cars

Within the few years, the roads are going to experience autonomous cars dominating the urban areas. There will be special parking for those vehicles that can automatically park themselves while for human-driven cars, the apartments will accommodate robotic parking system as listed above.

Smart Exteriors

In the process of creating apartments for the future, designers will propose only the lightweight and incredible strong carbon fibre. Such kinetic façade exterior will out bring energy and movement combined with energy efficient LED lighting that will assist in growth of vegetation. Therefore, the apartment of the future will produce solar as well as wind energy as a feature of smart exteriors.

Luxury Amenities

Residents in the apartments of the future are going to enjoy the on-the-go lifestyle which includes one feature as smart phone enabled entry. The residents can provide limited access time to enter and also reset the time as per the requirement. There will be bigger and functional closet spaces into rooms and also huge balconies. The residents will also experience gas cook tops and recycled glass counter tops in the kitchens.

There is a new collaboration extension which enables the bi-directional exchange of Creo parts and assemblies with the Autodesk Inventor.

  1. Augmented Reality:

With the development of the new version, PTC integrates Creo with AR platform, by allowing Creo users to manufacture and present AR experience from within the designs.

  1. Topology Optimization:

The feature of topology optimization will enable users to insert objectives and constraints. It will also allow the software to automatically create an optimized design.

  1. Productivity Improvements:

Creo 5.0 brings some improvements to the productivity of the user, which includes enhanced user interface, geometry creation, volume helical sweeps, design improvements, surface improvements and a lot more. The advancements in this CAD software will result in better functionality and effective product manufacturing.

PTC’s Brian Thompson also said that “Product designs these days requires advancements, and Creo continues evolving to meet the needs of customers.” The changes brought in the product Creo 5.0 reveals that it can help companies right from the earliest phase of design to smart, and useful product.

The significant features of Creo suggests that new functionalities and capabilities, sets the software apart and gives companies a true competitive edge from ideation till manufacturing.

Growing Engineering Jobs and Salaries

CADDZOOM

The US Department of Labor’s Bureau Labor Statistics (BLS) has recently stated that the rate of employment for engineering professionals is expected to rise up to 7% until the year 2026. Some other predictions are as follows.

  • This number is growing as fast as the average of all the occupations.
  • The agency has also predicted an approximate number of 194, 300 new jobs to open in engineering.
  • A number of industries are expected to offer these job opportunities including rebuilding infrastructure, renewable energy, oil and gas extension, robotics, cybersecurity, and advanced manufacturing.
  • In addition, the median annual wage for engineering occupants, in 2016 was observed as $77,900 which was more than twice as high as all the occupations in the economy.

5 Machine Learning Trends Will Train the IoT MarketAeroAstro Engineering

CADDZOOM

The ever-growing world of Information and Technology will soon experience new changes as IoT and machine learning is evolving rapidly. Here we have five of the most dominant machine learning trends that is set to change the IoT Market.

Mobile Machine Learning

The highly compressed machine learning chips will be probably the biggest trend that will affect the presence of IoT. These chips with neural network capabilities will not be as powerful as their cloud-based counterparts, still they will be capable of machine learning tasks.

Automated Data Science

The technology will automate tasks such as scribbling data, removing trivial errors, and deleting junk data which are carried out regularly and are also prone to errors. Such as advent, hence will make this process smooth.

Synthetic Data

Researchers who works on IoT and machine learning algorithms might need a certain amount of data to carry out experiments. In such cases, instead of creating their own data, these professionals can use already existing relevant data. Probably knows as the synthetic data, this collection can be immediately linked to a machine learning algorithm to carry out experimentation.

Machine Learning Hardware

Engineers have now developed some new machine learning hardware that can efficiently and quickly crunch numbers located on the cloud. These tools made the process more quick and affordable.

The Machine Learning’s Black Box Limitation

Machine learning algorithms are generally not programmed, but get evolved as experiment takes place to collect and process data to generate useful information. This can be a hurdle for those who try to deploy machine learning in medical devices. Researcher says they are still making efforts in this direction.
