ROBOT
or decades, science fiction
has inspired rich forecasts
of what the future will look like.
Technologies like virtual and augmented reality, digital voice assistants and connected devices were
first imagined by science fiction
authors and futurists.
Many modern-day medical
technologies also debuted in science fiction. Dr. McCoy's tricorder
in Star Trek served as the inspiration for DxtER, a health analytics
device which uses noninvasive
sensors to track vitals, body chemistry and biological functions.
Elder care robots like SoftBank's
Pepper and Luvozo's SAM - and
social robots like ElliQ and Jibo
- draw inspiration from the portrayal of companion and care
robots in science fiction films like
Big Hero 6 and Robot and Frank.
Mechanized exoskeletons like
Iron Man's armor and Ellen
Ripley's power loader in Aliens
helped create functional blueprints for exosuits being used in
military and manufacturing
applications, as well as for robotic
devices like ReWalk which assists
paralyzed individuals to sit, stand
and walk. As for the U.S. military's
research and development agency,
the neural-interface technology

developed by the Defense
Advanced Research Projects
Agency (DARPA) has helped
amputees to experience touch
with a prosthetic hand or control
an advanced prosthetic arm with
their mind. That should remind
Return of the Jedi fans of Luke
Skywalker's bionic hand.
Artificial intelligence, or AI, is a
key ingredient in making each of
these real-life applications viable.
Machines leveraging AI tools are
making inroads into nearly every
aspect of our lives. Fusing together
the physical and digital realms, AI's
impact on society will be far reaching and profound. Impact evaluation and market sizing from
McKinsey estimates that AI will
generate value between $3.5 trillion
to $5.8 trillion annually across nine
business functions in 19 industries.
According to a recent Accenture
survey of health care executives, a
majority (85 percent) agree that
every human will be directly
impacted daily by an AI-based
decision within the next three
years. Accenture expects the AI
health market to reach $6.6 billion by 2021, growing 40 percent
annually, and potentially generating $150 billion in health care savings by 2026. Another way to
