In the bigger picture, AI will be the brains behind a proposed national smart grid that will take the input of millions of sensors to make real-time decisions about which sensors need to be replaced and where to allocate energy resources. One very famous example of an energy-saving AI algorithm involves Google. Wind and solar offer particularly rich datasets that algorithms can chew on in order to provide insights on current problems, predict issues that might arise, improve energy storage or to identify the optimal layout of the next mega solar farm .

Wearables tracking human health factors isn't new but the communications links can be patchy. French Rugby have recently partnered with the European Space Agency to equip players with GPS-enabled devices to track their positions, speed and physiological details in the hope it can reduce impact & likelihood of concussion. Moving communications to the (earth's) edge will no doubt see more applications scale up.more info:https://www.esa.int/Applications/Navigation/Satnav_watching_over_rugby_players

Computers and robots can act as doctors. This idea was seen in the movie Baymax which gives us a look at what healthcare may look like in the future –  we will get care of all kinds from robots, not just humans. The  robot in the film looks like a marshmallow man and is designed to be non-threatening and huggable,
