You may have seen the Daniel Day-Lewis movie There Will be Blood. If not, the plot goes like this: It chronicles the life of a man and his oil drilling business. In the movie, he travels around the Western United States looking for crude oil deposits. He then strikes deals with the local property owners to drill and transport the crude oil to ports and processing plants.
He specializes in taking that crude oil and turning it into profit and allows poor farmers to capitalize on it in the process.
We’re at a similar point in humanity and innovation. Except that this time oil itself sort of this messy commodity. Dirty and expensive but probably going to be phased out.
The future is digital and mechanical. Intelligent devices. Smart software. The ability to see what is going on in your business immediately and easily. Sorting, querying, displaying, and correlating data is the beginning of Artificial Intelligence. And it’s complicated and expensive. But worth it – data is the new oil.

Wing Drone Delivery
Wing.com – a Google project – is now live. One thing about acrisis – it drives innovation by removing barriers. Something that seemed a ways off a few months ago suddenly is very useful. Drones that can deliver medication, food, and supplies anywhere with zero human interaction is pretty useful as providers like Instacart and DoorDash are hit with sick workers and skepitcal consumers.
UV Disinfecting Robots
We’ve been watching new innovations – from COVID-19 testing, to social distancing techniques and 3D printed masks and new innovations in respirators. Some of our business partners are on the front lines doing sanitization at hospitals and schools as a way to help out. We want to help – but how?
This robot-powered UV disinfection device claims to kill up to 99.99% of airborne pathogens. Does anyone want to collaborate?
Robotics Considerations for Life on the Moon and Mars
Join us Monday, February 17th from 7pm-8pm for a lecture, hiring event and discussion lead by Caleb Eastman of Winter Winds Robotics. For more information or to RSVP please click here.
Inside Robauto’s Innovation Lab
2020 has already been a busy year at Robauto. With multiple new team members, ongoing robotics pilots and a busy product development year ahead with partners, we wanted to pause and update (and showcase) some of our research and development.
Featured Q1 2020 AI and Robotics Projects
Working with Coropilo to finalize their AI-enabled smart pillow.
Working on a stealth augmented reality device with Augment World.
Building an intelligent platform with Perfect Audience.
Building version 4.0 (and the consumer-ready version) of the BiBli OS.
Helping to visualize and optimize a 20-year-old services company‘s recurring and marketing data.
We are excited to be a part of all of these projects. We ‘bring technology to life’. Both in the sense of we make it smart – and bring it to market. If you are a startup or enterprise with an interesting or challenging technology concept, we’d love to hear from you.
Lex Fridman’s Deep Learning State of the Art 2020
Lex Fridman gave a great comprehensive 2020 look at Artificial Intelligence in his lecture on deep learning. It’s clear the market is starting to mature. TensorFlow and PyTorch are both stable and more and more breakthroughs are happening.
But we still have a ways to go. AI doesn’t really yet learn. It’s not Hollywood. Lex’s predictions: We’ll have to soon worry about the ethics of harassing AI while AI-powered recommendation engines (advertising and news) will become the most important artificial intelligence of this decade.
Deep Learning 101 with MIT’s Lex Fridman
Lex Fridman from MIT has put together some great resources around Deep Learning. Deep Learning is a way to extract patterns from data in an automated way, a fundamental of Machine Learning. Lex provides examples using Python and Google’s TensorFlow. Learn fundamentals and strategies around data interpretation, neural networks and asking the right questions as we sit at the peak of the A.I. Hype Cycle.
Amazon’s AWS IoT Core – Control Devices via MQQT
There’s always healthy debate amongst developer types about using Amazon’s tools. Or if it’s not Amazon it’s Microsoft. Sure, we’d all love to recreate all of our code from scratch.
But Amazon’s IoT Core framework is very useful when prototyping integrated systems. The reason is that the framework gives you a very simple client to put on a Raspberry Pi or other edge device so that you can instantly control it via the cloud via MQQT.
Top 2020 A.I. Trend: The Switch to Machine Learning
It’s that time of year again. When the internet gets flooded with last year’s trends and tomorrow’s predictions. We are going to make this really simple.
2020 will be the year business adopts machine learning.
Many have already, however, this will be the year we stop looking at analytics and start building intelligent models that allow our metrics to self-guide business growth.
