Enabling Technologies
Abstract
Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is a new vision of human–technology interaction enabling digital environments to be reactive, adaptable, and attentive to the needs of individuals. The symbiotic complementary roles of four facilitating technologies Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Edge Computing, and Cloud Computing for assigning AmI ecosystems are investigated in this article. In a comparative study through violin plots, line graphs, and heatmaps, this study evaluates the performance of these technologies in different application areas including smart homes, healthcare, industrial automation, and city infrastructure. From empirical facts of primary sources such as real-world case studies and industry surveys, a layered integration model stands out as the most scalable and efficient Ambient Intelligence model. The study also explores issues like latency, interoperability, energy efficiency, and data privacy. It combines theoretical insights and application-based evaluation to identify a comprehensive model for the creation of future-proof, smart environments.
