Introduction

Smart cities and villages have enhanced the quality of lives of residents. Various computer-assisted technologies have been harnessed for the development of smart cities and villages in order to provide solutions for common and niche urban problems. The development of smart environments has been possible due on advances in computing power and artificial intelligence (AI) that have allowed the deployment of scalable technologies.

Artificial Intelligence for Smart Cities and Villages: Advanced Technologies, Development, and Challenges summarizes the role of AI in planning and designing smart solutions for urban and rural environments.

This book is divided into three sections to impart a better understanding of the topics to readers. These sections are: 1) Demystifying smart cities and villages: A traditional perspective, 2) Smart innovations for rural lifestyle management solutions, and 3) Case studies. Through this book, readers will be able to understand various advanced technologies that are vital to the development of smart cities and villages.

The book presents 15 chapters that present effective solutions to urban and rural challenges. Concepts highlighted in chapters include smart farms, indoor object classification systems, smart transportation, blockchains for medical information, humanoid robots for rural education, IoT devices for farming, and much more.

This book is intended for undergraduate and graduate engineering students across all disciplines, security providers in the IT and related fields, and trainees working for infrastructure management companies. Researchers and consultants at all levels working in the areas of artificial intelligence, machine learning, IoT, blockchain, network security, and cloud computing will also find the contents beneficial in planning projects involving smart environments.

Foreword

With the enormous and rapid increase in the usage of Information Communication Technologies (ICT), and the growing awareness and creation of Smart Cities and Smart Villages, the usage of varied technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, IoT, blockchain, network security, cloud computing, and fuzzy logic are finding more attention from multiple researchers across the world. Information dissemination about the latest technology developments and advancements, possible applications and usages, and integration with allied technologies are playing a significant role in promoting and propagating the usage of these technologies for the overall development of society both at Rural and Urban at large, thereby “capitalizing the connected world”.

The book, “Artificial Intelligence for Smart Cities and Smart Villages: Advanced Technologies, Development, and Challenges”, is devoted to understanding the key roles of artificial intelligence in terms of smart transportation, IoMT based healthcare, smart farming solutions, and robotics based implementation in real-time scenarios. Additionally, the book also covers comprehensive case studies for understanding the implementation of diverse technologies leading to a smart innovative world.

Editors of the book have many years of research and practical experience in Artificial Intelligence, Smart Cities, Smart Villages and allied technologies. They have exerted their utmost efforts in the book. I believe that this academic monograph is indeed beneficial to the graduates, researchers and people related to the field of Smart Cities, Smart Rural World for their research and work.
