- Autonomy Everywhere. Artificial intelligence is likely to define the decade. It has already begun to increase its footprint in engineering software, where generative design applications automatically optimize CAD designs to best fit the functional definition of a part, including how it will be manufactured.
- More and Better Big Data. While the term “big data” is becoming more mainstream, most applications still run on a relative trickle of data limited to a machine, a factory, or feedback from a fleet of products in the field.
- Plug-and-Play World. Today, technologies like AI, IoT, big data, 5G, autonomous robots, and blockchain are stand-alone solutions. It is no small task to ensure a variety of IoT sensors can speak with a manufacturing execution system, which is in turn able to talk with a cloud-based data analytics package.
- More Complex Products. People want more out of their products, and information technology delivers those capabilities. Automobiles are the best example of this trend, looking beyond consumer features—voice-controlled phones and music systems or internet hubs—and considering safety systems.
- Journey to the Center of the Earth. To unlock the terawatt potential of geothermal energy, MIT startup Quaise Energy is testing a deep-drilling rig in 2024 that will use high-power millimeter waves to melt a column of rock down as far as 10 to 20 kilometers.
- “Batteries Included” Induction Ovens. Now we’re cooking with gas—but soon, we may be cooking with induction. A growing number of consumers are switching to induction-based stoves and ovens to address environmental concerns and health risks associated with gas ranges.
- Triage Tech to the Rescue. In the second half of 2024, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency will begin the first round of its Triage Challenge, a competition to develop sensors and algorithms to support triage efforts during mass-casualty incidents.
- Killer Drones Deployed From the Skies. A new class of missile-firing drones will take to the skies in 2024. Like a three-layer aerial nesting doll, the missile-stuffed drone is itself released from the belly of a bomber while in flight.
