A TRL is a measure to indicate the matureness of a developing technology. When an innovative idea is discovered it is often not directly suitable for application. Usually such novel idea is subjected to further experimentation, testing and prototyping before it can be implemented. The image below shows how to read TRL’s to categorise the innovative ideas.
Why?
Our algorithm senses the environment without the need for a central data collector. It is tuned by the users and delivers the requested environmental information timely and reliably.
How?
The algorithm is designed using the analytical tools of distributed convex optimisation. Then, it will be embedded on real devices and tested on real environmental data.
When?
In less than 10 years, environmental information will available in any location, at any time, and will be generated, aggregated, and processed by the user's devices.
