THE FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
Cyber-physical systems driven by AI and robots:
1. Physical (human world):
Autonomous tech (DARPA, Google, Tesla, Toyota,…)
3D printing of circuit boards, cells, organs, medical implants,
industrial parts
4D printing products responding to environment later in time – time
the 4D
THE FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
Cyber-physical systems driven by AI and robots:
1. Physical (human world):

Dynamics, Hybrid Delphi human and machine learning
collaboration—Korea 4.5% GDP R&D)
New Materials (embedded electronics e-skin, self-repairing,
Lotus Leaf-inspired nanotech, shape memory polymers,
nanomaterials like quantum dot tech / new batteries)
THE FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

Smart sensors (trillion+ 2025)
Smart devices (7B plus mobile subscriptions; 10B units;
Artik chips; Maker movement-Edison, Arduino101,Curie;
SOC; SOM; heterogeneous computing; $65 down to $5)
THE FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
Cyber-physical systems driven by AI and robots:
3. Digital:
Sharing Caring Economy (O to O) and new disruptive
business models (Uber, AirBnB, Alibaba, Facebook, Amazon
Mechanical Turk)
Blockchain (shared distributed ledger for all kinds of
transactions and registrations completed in seconds and not
days)
Rise of the digital assistants and chatbots (“HER” is here)
Augmented reality and virtual reality (Magic Leap,
HoloLens, Oculus)
THE FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
Some threats and opportunities…
Cybersecurity: protecting
Increase of mobile and
organisations and their
internet use comes with
customers’ data, assets and
own threats – cybersecurity
reputations. Also fundamental
– become a massive
to successful digital
global problem. We need
transformation.
