In Wikipedia the concept of* **Ambient Intelligence (AmI)** *is described as* **a vision where humans are surrounded by computing and networking technology** *unobtrusively embedded in their surroundings.* *AmI puts the emphasis on user-friendliness, efficient and distributed services support, user empowerment, and support for human interactions. This vision assumes a shift away from PCs to a variety of devices which are unobtrusively embedded in our environment and which are accessed via* **intelligent interfaces using RFID, PDA, wearables, robots etc.**
