Does this picture remind you of your first workplace? OK, perhaps it predates your personal experiences by about a century, but we're sure you can come up with a caption that's both apt and hopefully offers a humorous take on the situation.

That’s where the “smart” machine would come in. The smart machine is one that has some simple (or complex in some cases) processing capability to be able to adapt to changing conditions. Such machines are suited for a host of applications, including automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, computers and electronics, telecommunications, consumer goods, and so on. This radio show will show what’s possible with smart machines, and what tradeoffs need to be made to implement such a solution.
