This lecture discusses the concept of Guardian Angels, a network of nano sensors that monitor information about individuals and their surroundings, integrating into daily life to enhance safety and communication. These tiny, autonomous systems communicate vital data through smart devices and cloud-computing technology, ensuring privacy. By embedding these sensors in everyday objects like cars, they can communicate with traffic and pedestrians to prevent accidents. Additionally, emotional feedback helps individuals focus in critical situations, while zero energy networks and autonomous robots enhance safety by guiding people away from danger. The collaboration between European universities, research centers, and the high-tech industry aims to bring discrete, energy-efficient devices to the public, improving safety, prevention, and rescue missions.
