It would become less expensive, using less sensors and actuators, when using the predictive and learning abilities of an ai. You can, for safety reasons, keep a mechanical temperature limiter in the loop.
- sarchertech 3y agoMy background is in embedded systems. There is absolutely no way that an AI could make a temperature controlled shower cheaper. There’s no way to use fewer actuators, and the control system is already dead simple, and uses one temperature sensor per outlet.
- nuancebydefault 3y agoTemperature can be measured in different ways. IR radiation and sound can be measured from a distance. The relationship between temperature at the source, of the water exiting the showerhead and time can be learned. Water can be heated in different ways. The valve could also be a pump. Our reaction to the temperature of the water can be sensed. Who knows, AI can come up with simpler or cheaper solutions that did not cross our mind. I would say, time will tell.
