More sustainable use of resources through AI in smart homes

In September, the COMET team from Goethe University Frankfurt and German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) successfully presented their research at the Computer Science Festival 2024, which took place this year at RheinMain University of Applied Sciences in Wiesbaden. Constantin Brîncoveanu presented the paper “Artificial Intelligence-Based Assistance Systems for Environmental Sustainability in Smart Homes”, which was developed as part of SmartLivingNEXT.

The paper examines how AI-based systems in private households can contribute to a more sustainable use of resources. Based on the analysis of 60 scientific papers, key patterns were identified, including predictive analytics, real-time monitoring, data protection, personalized user interactions and strategies to increase energy efficiency. These technologies offer potential for a more sustainable use of resources in smart homes and promote user acceptance through targeted adaptations.

The well-received presentation led to an exciting discussion about the application of these samples in industry. The feedback gained provides valuable impetus for further research into sustainable assistance systems for smart homes.
