THE ARTIFICIAL RECOGNITION SYSTEM (ARS): NEW CONCEPTS FOR BUILDING AUTOMATION

Abstract Building automation faces a development that leads to more and more sensory information available for processing. Existing approaches are challenged by this abundant amount of data, therefore the authors see a need to introduce new concepts for handling the challenges of the upcoming future. Looking at bionic approaches taken from the field of neurobiology, but also psychoanalysis, a system is created that applies neurological principles to get human-like perception, and psychoanalytical principles to evaluate the perceived scenarios.
