作為ADI公司總裁兼首席執(zhí)行官的好處之一,就是能走遍全球,在不同地區(qū)與來(lái)自各行各業(yè)的客戶(hù)見(jiàn)面,聆聽(tīng)他們對(duì)所面臨的技術(shù)、業(yè)務(wù)和市場(chǎng)挑戰(zhàn)的看法。我們的客戶(hù)生產(chǎn)各種各樣的電子設(shè)備,它們影響著我們?cè)诮煌?、醫(yī)療健康、通信等現(xiàn)代生活的方方面面。我們的討論往往聚焦于當(dāng)前該如何巧妙地在現(xiàn)實(shí)與數(shù)字世界之間架起橋梁,并探討他們希望在未來(lái)實(shí)現(xiàn)的創(chuàng)新。我根據(jù)這些對(duì)話(huà)和其他研究總結(jié)出以下五個(gè)將在2018年對(duì)商業(yè)與社會(huì)產(chǎn)生最大影響的科技宏觀趨勢(shì) 。
Our discussions tend to focus on how to skillfully bridge the gap between reality and the digital world, and explore the innovations they hope to achieve in the future. Based on these conversations and other studies, I have summarized the following five technologies that will have the greatest impact on business and society in 2018.
人工智能
就像十年前人們努力實(shí)現(xiàn)數(shù)字化優(yōu)勢(shì)一樣,每個(gè)細(xì)分市場(chǎng)的客戶(hù)都正在狂熱地嘗試了解人工智能和機(jī)器學(xué)習(xí)對(duì)其業(yè)務(wù)的價(jià)值。隨著性能/經(jīng)濟(jì)可承受能力等障礙的不斷消除,加上一些AI具體應(yīng)用在工業(yè)環(huán)境中逐步產(chǎn)生了效益和應(yīng)用層面的影響,對(duì)AI應(yīng)用的關(guān)注將在2018年加速增長(zhǎng)。例如,AI已經(jīng)發(fā)展到工業(yè)機(jī)器人不經(jīng)特殊訓(xùn)練就能學(xué)習(xí)和適應(yīng)新的環(huán)境或不熟悉的對(duì)象的階段。

通過(guò)低功耗信號(hào)處理方面的創(chuàng)新,邊緣節(jié)點(diǎn)處的AI將開(kāi)始從新奇事物轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)槌R?guī)技術(shù),而通過(guò)上下文語(yǔ)境數(shù)據(jù)與信息,推動(dòng)邊緣和云之間更智能的系統(tǒng)分區(qū),則使智能邊緣計(jì)算成為現(xiàn)實(shí)。
與此同時(shí),與人類(lèi)智能競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的AI應(yīng)用將繼續(xù)由大學(xué)研究為主導(dǎo)。
自主/智能機(jī)器
2018年,汽車(chē)、無(wú)人機(jī)和機(jī)器人的自主系統(tǒng)將持續(xù)發(fā)展,但會(huì)因?yàn)橐恍┯写鉀Q的監(jiān)管法規(guī)和技術(shù)問(wèn)題而受到局限。不過(guò),接下來(lái)的幾個(gè)月,一些采用自主系統(tǒng)的項(xiàng)目計(jì)劃還會(huì)繼續(xù)讓我們看到進(jìn)展,例如在限定地區(qū)試行部署無(wú)人駕駛出租車(chē)就是其中之一。尤其是卡車(chē)和火車(chē)等長(zhǎng)途運(yùn)輸,將成為近期內(nèi)在無(wú)人駕駛方面取得實(shí)質(zhì)性進(jìn)展的應(yīng)用之一。

在不斷追求生產(chǎn)力效益的驅(qū)動(dòng)下,為機(jī)器添加智能的驅(qū)動(dòng)力也將加速工廠自動(dòng)化/工業(yè)4.0進(jìn)程。例如,機(jī)器學(xué)習(xí)的進(jìn)步將顯著提高系統(tǒng)的能力,從而根據(jù)自己的獨(dú)立狀態(tài)監(jiān)控提供有價(jià)值的性能建議和預(yù)測(cè)。

無(wú)處不在的無(wú)線(xiàn)傳感網(wǎng)絡(luò)和數(shù)據(jù)
先進(jìn)的材料、增強(qiáng)的功能和MEMS相結(jié)合,使傳感器尺寸和成本得以突破,讓無(wú)線(xiàn)傳感器網(wǎng)絡(luò)無(wú)處不在成為可能。通過(guò)無(wú)線(xiàn)mesh網(wǎng)絡(luò)在物聯(lián)網(wǎng)和工業(yè)應(yīng)用中的部署,無(wú)需大量重新布線(xiàn)即可在現(xiàn)有系統(tǒng)中添加傳感功能。但是,從傳感器到云的端到端安全性將成為工業(yè)用戶(hù)大規(guī)模部署工業(yè)物聯(lián)網(wǎng)的基本要求。

讓產(chǎn)品與系統(tǒng)更加智能化的驅(qū)動(dòng)力,也將加大對(duì)日益增長(zhǎng)的數(shù)據(jù)流進(jìn)行管理和分析的需求。隨著數(shù)據(jù)負(fù)荷不斷增加,數(shù)據(jù)中心將需要更高的處理性能,以及先進(jìn)的電源管理創(chuàng)新,以緩解數(shù)據(jù)中心系統(tǒng)產(chǎn)生高溫帶來(lái)的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。我們也將逐漸看到邊緣節(jié)點(diǎn)集成更多智能性,從而開(kāi)始對(duì)數(shù)據(jù)流進(jìn)行歸類(lèi)及處理。
人機(jī)界面
隨著增強(qiáng)現(xiàn)實(shí)和虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的蓬勃發(fā)展并激勵(lì)更多創(chuàng)新,混合現(xiàn)實(shí)系統(tǒng)將不斷涌現(xiàn)并得到普及。隨著商用AR/VR系統(tǒng)的應(yīng)用加速,其成本將下降,適用范圍將延伸至諸如工業(yè)等領(lǐng)域的異地診斷和維修。
另外,語(yǔ)音用戶(hù)交互已經(jīng)備受人們期待 ,但這種技術(shù)依然面臨一些局限性,尤其是在嘈雜環(huán)境中。Gartner預(yù)測(cè),2018年30%與技術(shù)的互動(dòng)將通過(guò)與智能機(jī)器“對(duì)話(huà)”實(shí)現(xiàn),這意味著技術(shù)和服務(wù)提供商現(xiàn)在就需要進(jìn)行投資,以改善目前受限的語(yǔ)音交互。
異構(gòu)制造
隨著深亞微米技術(shù)的開(kāi)發(fā)成本飛漲和摩爾定律面臨越來(lái)越嚴(yán)峻的技術(shù)和成本挑戰(zhàn),單個(gè)封裝內(nèi)、單層層壓板甚至單個(gè)硅襯底上多種技術(shù)的異構(gòu)集成將會(huì)增加。促使異構(gòu)制造資本化的新型商業(yè)模式將會(huì)涌現(xiàn),從而使無(wú)力投資最先進(jìn)IC光刻技術(shù)的小規(guī)模半導(dǎo)體廠商實(shí)現(xiàn)重組創(chuàng)新。對(duì)于涉足范圍更廣且規(guī)模更大的供應(yīng)商來(lái)說(shuō),將信號(hào)處理算法集成到芯片上將有助于提升其方案價(jià)值。
結(jié)論
未來(lái)一年這些趨勢(shì)將如何演變?常言道,預(yù)測(cè)未來(lái)的最好方法就是創(chuàng)造未來(lái)。當(dāng)半導(dǎo)體創(chuàng)新將成為這些新興應(yīng)用的基礎(chǔ),而模擬技術(shù)將在“數(shù)據(jù)饑渴型”世界中變得更為重要之時(shí),ADI公司必將通過(guò)不懈努力,在2018年將這些預(yù)測(cè)變?yōu)楝F(xiàn)實(shí)。
