Some eateries that provide indoor dining services feature AI robot servers who bring food to tables safely by using self-driving technology and 3D spatial mapping.
Other businesses are attempting to increase the end-customizability user's or accessibility of exciting new technological discoveries.
Consider the electroluminescent coating technology from LumiLor. Their device enables customers to customize and illuminate any surface in a range of brilliant neon colors by applying a liquid coating or pre-applied film.
At CES 2022 this year, other businesses in addition to Y-Brush displayed their 10-second toothbrush.
But when it comes to emerging technologies, this is merely the top of the iceberg.
What new technological developments is MAKO Design most anticipating in 2022?
1. Computing Power
Pixel 7 And Pixel 7 Pro Review: Google’s Circle Of Smartphone Life
Computing power will continue to explode in 2022. We now have considerably better cloud infrastructure, and many businesses are re-platforming to the cloud.
We are also seeing a push towards better networks – 5G is being rolled out, and 6G is on the horizon. That means even more power in our phones, in our cars, and in our wearable devices.
2. Smarter Devices
Growing computer power is enabling us to create smarter devices. We now have intelligent televisions, autonomous cars, and more intelligent robots that can work alongside humans to complete more tasks.
In 2022, we’ll see continued momentum for this smart device explosion, including the introduction of intelligent home robots.
3. Quantum Computing
The trend of quantum computing — the processing of information that is represented by special quantum states – enables machines to handle information in a fundamentally different way from traditional computers. Quantum computing will potentially give us computing power that is a trillion times more powerful than what we get from today’s advanced supercomputers.
I predict that in 2022, quantum computers could fundamentally change how we approach problems like logistics, portfolio management, and drug innovations.
4. Datafication
Data is a key enabler for all of these trends. All of the digitization in our world today means we have enormous amounts of data available, and data has now become the number one business asset for every organization. We can use data to better understand our customers, research key trends, and get insight into what’s working inside our organizations.
5. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
Organizations and researchers are now using all their data and computing power to provide advanced AI capabilities to the world.
One of the key trends in the AI world is machine vision. We now have computers that can see and recognize objects on a video or photograph. Language processing is also making big advances, so machines can understand our voices and speak back to us.
Low-code or no-code will also be a huge trend this year. We will be able to build our AI using drag-and-drop graphical interfaces, so we can develop extraordinary applications without being limited by our coding skills.
6. COVID-19 Breathalyzer Test
As was already said, the new technology invention 2022 trends are led by health and safety items. The Opteev-developed ViraWarn Freedom breathalyzer is a medical-grade handheld device that analyzes breath for COVID-19, its variations, and other viruses like the flu.
The Freedom can give a precise readout in just five seconds as well.
People may attend events, eat at restaurants, and engage in other activities with confidence thanks to the ability to obtain readings on the spot.
The device will aid in enhancing safety measures in indoor environments and is portable enough to utilize with ease in theaters, classrooms, and other locations.
The COVID-19 measurements on the ViraWarn Freedom are likewise 100% accurate.
George Mason University, one of the 21 labs accredited by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has confirmed this. Actually, GMU is the only laboratory in the US that has the ability to aerosolize COVID-19 and test it.
They put the Freedom to the test using various viral loads and discovered that it had an incredibly accurate detection of COVID-19.
7. Humanoid Robot
So, if you thought the AI robot servers were impressive, just wait until you see what Engineered Arts has in store for you in terms of cutting-edge technology.
Their robot, Ameca, was designed to be lifelike but unsettlingly similar to the grey, humanoid machines we see in modern culture such movies like I, Robot.
In fact, Ameca's Director of Operations revealed during a CNET interview that the robot was purposefully made to resemble a robot rather than a human.
Pictures don't truly do it credit; to fully appreciate it, you must witness it in use.
You'll be astounded by the fluid, seamless movements, which range from the wide, deliberate movements of the arms to the human-like face emotions to the tiniest eye twitches.
But don't anticipate them to soon sprint and leap like the robots from Boston Dynamic.
The Ameca is now made to interact with people naturally in order to provide customer service, act as information terminals, or even provide entertainment.
8. Foldable Tech Devices
Samsung just made a foray into this market with their well-liked Galaxy range of folding smartphone innovations.
We saw ASUS enter the fight at CES 2022 when the Zenbook 17 Fold was unveiled.
The multipurpose screen, which has a sizable 17.3-inch display, may be used as a laptop, tablet, book, or even a PC.
In fact, users may turn the bottom half of the Zenbook into a laptop by connecting a Bluetooth keyboard and touchpad. You could also simply fold it in half to get the on-screen keyboard.
Its dimension is only 12.5 inches when it is folded in half. Easy to carry in your arms, a backpack, or a messenger bag thanks to its small size.
It also has all the bells and whistles, such as an OLED screen, HDR, Dolby Atmos, and many more features.
9. Color Changing Cars
The iX Flow is a concept automobile that BMW just unveiled. And this brand-new technological advancement is a total game-changer.
The iX Flow was designed for people who can't choose just one color for their new vehicle.
Users can instantaneously change their car's color from white to black by pressing a single button, or vice versa.
How does it function? Electrophoretic film with microscopic microcapsules is all over the exterior of the body. These microcapsules change from white to black depending on whether they have a positive or negative charge. BMW refers to this innovation as E Ink.
For the first time, customers have the choice to easily customize their car by changing the color of their vehicle to match their mood or surroundings.
10. Digital Twins
A digital twin is a virtual representation that is identical to a real-world physical object.
If this sounds familiar, it's because MAKO Design uses CAD tools to carry out a very similar task. We create a digital replica of the product called the CAD to mimic how the product will operate in real life before MAKO assists in the construction of a physical product, whether through product prototype or production.
However, a digital twin is created for complete real-time simulation reasons.
IBM serves as a superb illustration. The digital twin receives critical information from a wind turbine using sensors concerning energy output, temperature, weather conditions, and other information. Users may conduct several simulations with remarkable accuracy with digital twins, which is what sets them apart from other simulations.
Additionally, the wind turbine may quickly receive this fresh information and insights from these simulations.
As you can expect, there are a ton of new opportunities presented by this technology. We can uncover improvements for both products and processes using digital twins.
11. Health Body Scans
What if stepping on a scale could provide more information about your health?
a scale that can accurately measure weight as well as muscle mass, heart health, and vascular age.
the Withings Body Scan is introduced.
Although this brand-new technological discovery is now undergoing clinical and regulatory tests, there's no doubt that when it is finally made available to the general public, it will represent a revolutionary advancement.
Although the Body Scan appears to be a standard scale, it actually has a retractable handle at the front that can be used to produce very accurate body composition data.
Users may accurately measure the amounts of muscle and fat in their torso, arms, and legs by using the handle. Additionally, the Body Scan will indicate whether your findings are typical or below average.
Users can also learn more about their cardiovascular health and vascular age. Small nerve activity in the feet can also be measured by the scale.
Through the Withings app, users can monitor all of their health parameters and even receive individualized health programs based on the findings.
12. Smart Bathing
New technology inventions and convenience often go hand in hand.
Our work is a testament to how true that is. Take our client’s Packhopper, for example. The Packhopper combines the typically clunky tennis ball hopper and ball mower into a brilliantly simple tennis bag. The convenience and user experience wowed the design community and, as a result, MAKO took a number of the most prestigious design awards including the Red Dot, Indigo, LICC, and others.
Kohler aims to leverage IoT and smart home technologies to conveniently provide users with the perfect bathing experience. Their PerfectFill is a smart bath where users can control the exact temperature of the water, light, fog, color, how much to fill, and even when to drain.
Control it all with voice commands or a touch of your smartphone – bring the spa experience home.
13. Solar Roof Shingles
If you’ve ever wanted to install solar panels but were put off by the look of the bulky space-like panels, this new technology invention is for you.
GAF Energy is coming out with a solar shingle called the Timberline Solar that you can install like a normal roof.
Equally beautifully and strong, homeowners will enjoy the benefits of clean energy and the peace of mind of durable and waterproof shingles that withstand harsh weather conditions.
All you need is a nailgun and the Timberline Solar can be installed like any other shingle.
Typically, installing solar panels is a two-step process. First, the roof must be installed. Then the solar panels are installed. GAF Energy hopes to help cut costs for homeowners by combining these two things in a single product.
14. Flying Vehicles
Before you ask about traffic infrastructure and regulations, just imagine how cool it would be to drive a personal flying vehicle.
Ultra-quiet, safe, emission-free, and compact, SkyDrive’s personal flying vehicle looks like a new technology invention from the future.Currently in the prototyping phase, the purpose of the SkyDrive is to help transport yourself, others, or goods quickly and efficiently. It can take off, fly and land without a runway autonomously or with a pilot. And with a maximum load of 500 kg, flying altitude of 500 meters, and a speed of 100 km/h, there are an endless number of use cases for a flying vehicle of this size.
From rapid emergency response to day-to-day deliveries, SkyDrive leverages airspace to get goods and people to their destinations faster than ever before.
Plus think of the surge in popularity of ride-sharing apps and on-demand car rental services like Zipcar. SkyDrive is the next evolution of convenient and affordable travel.
At CES 2022, SkyDrive showcased a prototype model, the SD-03, and how they intend to use the SkyDrive as an air taxi. Their goal is to have the next iteration, the SD-05, ready in time to do just that for the 2025 World Expo.
15. Robotic Cat
One important lesson about innovation is that it doesn’t always need to be serious.
Inventions like the fidget spinner, stress ball, and other small gadgets might seem trivial because they only have one or two features. But the key to the success of many of these types of inventions is that they function well and provide value to the user.
The Amagami cat robot was designed with this type of mindset.
There’s nothing technologically groundbreaking about this robot cat. It’s definitely not like our client’s PetBot. It’s not particularly lifelike either.
But what it lacks in tech prowess, it makes up in charm.
This cuddly cat robot has one function and one purpose. To mimic the comforting feeling when our cats or other furry friends nibble on our fingers.
Designed to help relieve stress, the Amagami has over 20 different nibbling patterns.
16. Extended Reality
We now have more augmented reality (AR) capabilities on our devices (particularly our phones and tablets), and we're seeing an even bigger push toward virtual reality (VR). In 2022, we'll see new, lighter, more portable VR devices, so instead of having clunky headsets that require WiFi connections, we will have devices that are more like glasses that connect to our phones and give us superior VR experiences on the go.
These extended reality advances pave the way for incredible experiences in the metaverse, a persistent, shared virtual world that users can access through different devices and platforms.
17. Digital Trust
Blockchain technology, distributed ledgers, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are transforming our world, and we will continue to see advances in this
technology in 2022. These innovations go beyond Bitcoin to things like smart contracts that allow us to verify ownership with NFTs. This year, we will see more companies and individuals enhancing physical objects with blockchain technology and tokens.18. 3D Printing
We can now make things with 3D printing that we would never have dreamed of a decade ago. In 2022, we’ll see transformations in manufacturing and beyond, from 3D printing technological
innovations, including mass-produced customized pieces, concrete for houses, printed food, metal, and composite materials.
19.Genomics
The 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to two scientists, Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna, for their work developing a method for genome editing. Genomics, gene editing, and synthetic biology are a top trend of 2022 because these advancements can help us modify crops, cure and eradicate diseases, develop new vaccines like the COVID-19 shot, and other medical and biological breakthroughs.
Nanotechnology will also allow us to give materials new attributes by manipulating them on a subatomic level, so we can create things like bendable screens, better batteries, water-repellent, self-cleaning fabrics, and even self-repairing paint this year.
20. New Energy Solutions
The last hugely important trend is new energy
solutions. As we tackle climate change, we'll see continued advances in the batteries we use in our cars, as well as innovations in nuclear power and green hydrogen. These new trends will allow us to power our ships, our planes, our trains and generate energy for the general public.
