Lamps for care homes that use vision AI to notice when a resident falls, ask them whether they are OK, and alert staff if they need help.
Smart Devices
Devices whose AI perceives their surroundings, people or real-world inputs and responds through information, interaction or physical adaptation.
v0.1 inclusion rule
AI must be core to the device's function, not an added feature; rule-based automation, wearables, robots that move or manipulate, vehicles, drones and developer hardware don't qualify.
A shopping cart that recognizes items as shoppers put them in, weighs produce, keeps a running total and lets them pay at a dedicated checkout lane.
A tabletop AI companion for older adults that starts conversations, suggests activities, remembers what it is told and helps them keep in touch with family and care teams.
An overhead baby monitor whose camera uses computer vision to work out when a baby falls asleep and wakes, with nothing worn by the baby, and reports the night's sleep to parents.
A mattress cover with sleep sensors that heats or cools each side of the bed, and whose Autopilot membership adjusts the temperature through the night as it learns how each person sleeps.
An outdoor box that listens around the clock and identifies birds (and, on one model, bats) by their calls, logging every species it hears with a short recording.
